Deep Breakfast is the second album by American new-age artist Ray Lynch, released on December 12, 1984, on Lynch's own label. After signing with Music West Records, the album was released more widely in March 1986. By October 1986 the album had sold 72,000 copies, becoming Lynch's breakout work. The first track "Celestial Soda Pop" was tapped for the theme song of the NPR show Fresh Air, increasing exposure and sales of the album.

Upon its re-release, the album was universally praised for its new-age style melding of electronic and classical sounds. In 1989, the album peaked at number 2 on Billboard's Top New Age Albums chart, behind David Lanz's album Cristofori's Dream. The album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994.
