We Are the Pipettes is the debut album from the Pipettes and is named after the group's theme song. It was released on 17 July 2006 by Memphis Industries on CD, vinyl and digital download. The song "We Are the Pipettes" was featured in "Everything Changes", the first episode of the TV series Torchwood.

In 2007 the entire album was remixed by Greg Wells as part of their United States record deal with Cherrytree Records, and features two new tracks that are not included on the original release: "Dance and Boogie" and "Baby, Just Be Yourself". It was released, with a new album cover (inspired by Attack of the 50 Foot Woman), on 2 October in North America and 17 October in Asia.

The album did not include any liner notes,{{cite web |url=http://www.rivetingriffs.com/Pipettes_cd.htm |title=Pipettes |website=www.rivetingriffs.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101014142718/http://www.rivetingriffs.com/Pipettes_cd.htm |archive-date=2010-10-14}} except in the Japanese version which included the lyrics in English and Japanese.
