Alternative is the ninth album by UK electronic music duo Pet Shop Boys. It was first released in 1995. Alternative is a 2-disc set, consisting of 30 B-sides in chronological order. The title Alternative was a last minute change from the title that had been long saved for such an album, B-sides, but that title was taken by rock band Sugar, who released their own B-sides compilation two months prior.

Alternative only really gained popularity among devoted fans of Pet Shop Boys with the exception of the UK where it entered the charts at #2. A remake of the original 7-inch Paninaro entitled Paninaro '95 was released as a single (which was featured in the later PopArt set) in order to promote the 2-disc compilation.
