"Pancreas" is a song by American musician Weird Al Yankovic from his 2006 album Straight Outta Lynwood. It is a pastiche of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and Smile albums.

The final original song recorded for the album, it is mainly about the biological functions of the aforementioned organ.[1][2] Yankovic joked that the reason the song was written was because "my pancreas has given so much to me over the years, I felt like I needed to give something back to it".[1]

"Pancreas" is in the style of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, specifically his band's 1966 album Pet Sounds and their aborted follow-up, Smile, which Wilson had completed as a solo record in 2004.[1]
