Universal Themes is the seventh studio album by American indie folk act Sun Kil Moon, released on June 2, 2015, on Caldo Verde Records.

The album was preceded by the singles, "The Possum", "Garden of Lavender" and "Ali/Spinks 2", and features contributions from Sonic Youth drummer and Benji collaborator Steve Shelley.[1] Noting the "spoken segments, garage-rock and pretty acoustic passages", Jon Dennis of The Guardian described the overall sound of the album as "intimate and minimal".[2]
