Fuzzy Logic is the name of the debut album by the Super Furry Animals. It was listed in Q Magazine's Best British Albums Ever in July 2004, and in the same magazine's Top 10 Britpop Albums Ever in December 1996. It contains two top 20 hits in 'If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You' and 'Something For The Weekend'; it also contains the singles 'God! Show Me Magic' and 'Hometown Unicorn'. It reached number 23 in the UK charts on release.

The name comes from a mathematical term which describes terms that are easy to understand by humans but are not so easily understood by computers. For example 30°C may be hot if it were the outside temperature but it would be cold if it were the temperature of a cup of tea. So whether it is hot or cold depends on the context.

'Fuzzy Logic' is often noted for its cover depicting a variety of photos of international drug smuggler Howard Marks, who is paid tribute to on 'Hangin' With Howard Marks'. As a result, the band later struck up a friendship with Marks, and are referenced in his autobiography 'Mr Nice'.
