"Psychedelic Underground" is the 1969 mythic debut full-length studio album by psychadelic krautrock act Amon Düül. The album was released through Metronome Records in 1969. Amon Düül was one of the early pioneers in the progressive krautrock manners and "Psychedelic Underground" is widely considered one of the earliest examples of this movement in Germany.

Amon Düül began in 1967 as a radical political art commune of Munich-based artists calling themselves, in part, after the Egyptian Sun God Amon. Led by Ulrich Leopold, Amon Düül included Ulrich's brother Peter Leopold, together with Austrian Rainer Bauer and Chris Karrer on guitars. Later, the commune would add Bauer's sister Ella, Helge and Angelika Filanda, Uschi Obermeier, Wolfgang Krischke, Falk Rogner and Renate Knaup Krötenschwanz. The commune attained underground popularity for its free-form musical improvisations, performed around the art happenings and demonstrations of the youth movement in the late 1960s. The commune had a liberal attitude to artistic freedom, valuing enthusiasm and attitude over artistic ability, and as a result, band membership at the time was fluid; anyone who was part of the commune could be part of the group. They issued a declaration: "We are eleven adults and two children which are gathered to make all kinds of expressions, also musical." A faction within the commune was more ambitious, conventional and musically structured than the commune society overall. This led to a split within the collective, and in September 1968 they performed at the International Essen Song Days—Germany's first underground festival as two separate groups, "Amon Düül" and "Amon Düül II", at the suggestion of drummer Peter Leopold.

Amon Düül engaged in exuberant open-ended experimentation that at times equalled their psychedelic rock equivalents in countries such as the USA or Brazil (e.g. Os Mutantes), with a focus on political activities. The members were close to Kommune 1 in Berlin and boasted, for a time, a prominent member in the model and activist Uschi Obermaier. Amon Düül signed a contract with the firm "Metronome Records", and continued for seven years with varying degrees of success and in various guises.

The first to be tracked German Krautrock Album from 1969 where the ethnic slur "kraut" surfaced in a musical context which later inspired , and the music press  and recipents alike. As is often the case with musical genre labels, few of the bands wished to see themselves pigeon-holed and most tended to eschew the term
