J-Tull Dot Com (1999) is the name of the 20th studio album by the band Jethro Tull. J-Tull Dot Com was released four years after their 1995 album Roots to Branches and continues in the same vein, marrying hard-rock and art-rock^{[citation needed]} with Eastern music influences. It is the last album to feature Andrew Giddings on keyboards and the only album to feature Jonathan Noyce on bass, although both would stay with the band until 2007, resulting in Jethro Tull's longest ever unchanged line-up.

As of September 2011, it is their most recent studio album consisting of all-original material.
