Metratronic is a retrospective compilation of recorded audio and visual material by British musician and recording artist John Foxx. It was released in 2010 by Edsel Records to mark the 30th anniversary of Foxx's debut solo album Metamatic and the start of his solo career. The idea for the compilation was first mentioned in the Ultravox fanzine Extreme Voice back in 1999.[1]

The three disc set, comprising two CDs and one DVD, highlights on the electronic side of Foxx's recorded work and includes promo videos for 'Underpass', 'No-One Driving' and 'He's A Liquid' on DVD for the first time, along with rare performances of 'The Noise' and 'Shifting City' performed by Foxx and Louis Gordon and filmed by VH1.[2]

The extended version of Underpass and the "early version" of Burning Car remain exclusive to this release, as do the tracks on CD2 recorded live in Sydney.
