Selfish Machines is the second studio album from post-hardcore band Pierce the Veil, released through Equal Vision Records on June 21, 2010. Its title is derived from a lyric in the song "The Sky Under the Sea".

The iTunes bonus track "She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty" is a Vic Fuentes and Jonny Craig song recorded in 2007, but was not released on a record, though it was performed live a few times. Another deluxe edition of the album was released and includes a bonus "The Making Of" DVD and two bonus tracks.[1]

On October 1, 2010, a music video for "Caraphernelia" was released to promote the single and album. Directed by Rob­by Star­buck, the music video has featured separate shots of both the band, and guest vocalist Jeremy McKinnon of A Day to Remember.

On July 5, 2011, a music video for the second single, "Bulletproof Love" was released.
