The Mother's Milk Tour was a worldwide concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers to support their fourth studio album Mother's Milk.

Mother's Milk instantly garnered more attention than the band's previous records and, as such, the venues the band performed in were able to accommodate far larger crowds. For the first time the band also upgraded to a full-fleged tour bus and added backup musicians and singers.

A VHS video documenting the tour titled Psychedelic Sexfunk Live from Heaven was released in 1990.
