Boomerang is the second studio album by British duo the Creatures (a.k.a. singer Siouxsie Sioux and musician Budgie). It was recorded in Spain with Mike Hedges, in Jerez de la Frontera, in Andalusia. It features brass arrangements including trumpet, trombone and saxophone.

Boomerang received widespread critical acclaim from music critics, who praised Siouxsie's vocals and the choice of a wide range of musical styles on the album, including blues, jazz and Spanish styles such as flamenco. The album was hailed by Jeff Buckley, who covered the song "Killing Time".[1] In 2024, Uncut magazine rated Boomerang at number 184 in their list of "the 500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s".[2]
