A-tom-ic Jones is the second Tom Jones album for Decca, and third overall, released in 1966. The title is a pun. Les Reed was credited as the musical director.

Due to concerns over alarming the record-buying public, it was released in the US with a different cover, removing the nuclear explosion in the background. The US version also discarded four tracks, in favor of his two hit theme songs "Thunderball" and "Promise Her Anything."
