Skylab IV is the fourth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the fourth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. Self-released in 2003, it was the musician's first album to be recorded live without an audience – a trend which would continue for his subsequent studio releases. A music video for the track "Parafuso na Cabeça" came out in the same year, also the first-ever music video of his career; it was directed by Gustavo Caldas. A second music video, for "Mictório", was released on February 24, 2025, and on March 15 the song was re-issued as a stand-alone single. The boy depicted in the album's cover is Skylab's nephew, as he would state in a later interview with Jô Soares. The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website. The digital download version comes with the bonus tracks "Câncer no Cu" and "Chico Xavier & Roberto Carlos"; Skylab himself, "in an example of 'self-censorship'", omitted them from the original physical release for considering them too controversial, even for his standards. On March 26, 2026, Skylab IV was re-released by Monstro Discos in a special 20th-anniversary edition, including three outtakes. A live recording of "Música para Paralítico" appeared on Skylab's 2009 live album Skylab IX under the alternate title "Porrada na Cabeça". The reasons for the title change are unknown.
