Different Class is a 1995 album by Pulp. It was released at the height of Britpop, and led to the band being regarded as a part of that movement. Two of the singles on the album – "Common People" (which reached number 2 in the UK singles chart) and "Disco 2000" (which reached number 7) – were especially notable, and helped propel Pulp to UK-wide fame. A "deluxe edition" of Different Class was released on 11 September 2006. It contains a second disc of B-sides, demos and rarities.

The album was the winner of the 1996 Mercury Music Prize. In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Different Class the 37th greatest album of all time; a repeat poll in 2006 saw it reach number 85. In 2000 Q magazine the same magazine placed it at number 46 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2004 it was voted number 70 of Channel 4's 100 greatest albums.

London's hip, ambisexual MisShapes at Simon Hobart's Ghetto nightclub was named for the first track on this album. In 2003 a popular New York club night was named after the London night.
