Poison Pen is the third studio album by American rapper Chino XL. It was released on January 31, 2006 via Activate Entertainment. Production was handled by Bird, N Kredible, Buff William, Carlos Bess, Dan Charnas, Gennessee, Jason Figueroa a.k.a. Ghost, MoSS, One Eye and Proof. It features guest appearances from Killah Priest, Proof and The Beatnuts.

Fans anticipated this release ever since Chino XL's Poison Pen: The Lost Tapes, which featured the tracks "Beastin'", "Our Time", and "Wordsmith". Poison Pen was released as a 2-disc special collector's edition. Every copy was autographed by Chino XL with a silver "poison pen". The album was executive produced and A&R'd by Chino's then manager Stacey Castro.
