The Age of Electronicus is a 1969 album of experimental electronic music recorded by jazz pianist Dick Hyman and released on Command Records.

The album was one of many in the period which saw then-current popular songs set to Moog synthesizer. Two songs from The Beatles were covered, namely the album's opening track of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and "Blackbird", both from the White Album. Musical styles ran the gamut from the funk of the number one R&B hit "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose" by James Brown, the Memphis soul hit instrumental "Green Onions" by Booker T. & the M.G.'s to easy listening, evidenced by covers of "Alfie" and the Joni Mitchell hit, "Both Sides Now".
