The Milk of Human Kindness is a 2005 album by Caribou. Caribou is the performing name of Dan Snaith who was previously known as Manitoba until he was forced to change it after a threat of a lawsuit by American punk musician Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators.

While the title is a quote from Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Snaith has been quoted as saying that he read it off the back of a milk truck.[4]
