Full Moon, Dirty Hearts is the ninth studio album by Australian rock band INXS. It was released on 1 November 1993,[4] through East West Records in Australia and in the United Kingdom by Phonogram's Mercury Records label.[5] and by Atlantic Records in the United States. It was followed by the Dirty Honeymoon world tour of 1993–1994.

"Please (You Got That ...)" featured vocals by Ray Charles; the title track featured vocals by the Pretenders lead singer, Chrissie Hynde, however the latter was not released as a single, while the former was.

The band's manager, Chris Murphy, arranged to shoot videos for every song on the album. Twelve videos were shot on a small budget by different up and coming Australian directors.[6]

The Japanese edition of the album included a cover of Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild", which was specially recorded for the April 1993 launch of Virgin Radio in the UK.[7]
