Aural Sculpture is an album, a 7 inch single and picture disc single by The Stranglers.

The album featured acoustic guitar as well as a three-piece horn section (trumpet, trombone and saxophone), which were uncharacteristic of the band.

The horn section significantly changed the sound of the album and live performances, and was disliked by some of the fans.
