Uninvited, Like the Clouds is the 20th album by the Australian alternative rock band the Church.[1][2] It was released in Australia on 20 March 2006 and internationally on 17 April.[3]

James Christopher Monger at AllMusic gave it four stars, calling it "a bloated, beautiful, unsettling storm of a record" with "everything an adoring fan could want, and all the ammunition a detractor could carry."[4] Bernard Zuel of The Sydney Morning Herald found it "is a summation of 26 years, drawing from all of the elements with sure rather than desperate hands" where saying that it is "the kind of collection that will warm the hearts of those for whom the 1980s and early 1990s remain the golden years of the Church, should not be read as an indication that the band has retro-fitted its career".[5]
