Undressed is the debut album by American queercore band Pansy Division, released in March 1993 on Lookout! Records.

Singer-songwriter Jon Ginoli had previously released Undressed independently on cassette tape in 1991, featuring a different line-up with bassist Chris Bowe which was recorded in Champaign, Illinois. Nine of the tracks from these sessions were included on the Lookout! release of the album.[1]

Undressed received positive reviews from the independent music press. In a brief capsule review, AllMusic rated the album with 4.5 out of 5 stars, writing "These sex punks tunefully and loudly wag their penises and preferences about" and delivering the most praise on the "Byrds-influenced" "Boyfriend Wanted".[2]
