Hi-Fi Serious is the third studio album by British band A, released in 2002.

The name "Hi-Fi Serious" was derived from the name of the hi-fi electronics store Alan Partridge buys a Bang & Olufsen stereo from in the last episode of I'm Alan Partridge series 1. The tour in support of this album's release was called the 'Inner City Sumo' tour - another reference to I'm Alan Partridge (Season 1 Episode 1).

The album is certified Silver in the U.K., having sold over 60,000 copies.[4]

First single, "Nothing", made it to #9 in the UK singles chart before the album's release, propelling the band higher up the ladder - the album peaked at #18 in the UK album charts - and although they were still not seen as a mainstream artist, the album still won them "Best British Band" at the "Kerrang! awards".
