Sister is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on SST Records on June 1. 1987. The album continued the band's move away from the no wave movement towards more traditional alternative rock song structures, while maintaining an experimental approach.

Like Sonic Youth's previous albums, Sister was not commercially successful at the time of its release. In the years since, however, it has received critical acclaim, with several publications naming it as one of the best albums of the 1980s.
