Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope is an album by the American band Jimmie's Chicken Shack. It was released in 1997. The album sold more than 200,000 copies. The band supported the album by opening for Everclear on a North American tour.
The title is a word play of "Pushing the envelope", salmonella, and manila envelope.

Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote that the band "combines art-rock and hard-rock with a muscular rhythm section that adds a surging, funk-flavored bottom in the vein of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Living Colour."
