Blues for the Red Sun is a 1992 album by stoner rock band Kyuss. It is named after episode five of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, entitled "Blues for a Red Planet". It is one of the earliest pioneering recordings in stoner rock, a bass-heavy, grungey form of heavy metal. Along with Sleep's Holy Mountain by Sleep and Spine of God by Monster Magnet, it is considered one of the pillars of stoner rock.

In 2001 the album was featured in Q magazine's list of the 50 Heaviest Albums Of All Time.
