Kick is an album by the Australian rock and roll group INXS, released in 1987. It is their best-selling album to date, selling more than 10 million copies in the US alone as of 2005. Aided immeasurably by MTV, Kick spawned four Top 10 singles, including "Need You Tonight/Mediate," "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," and "Never Tear Us Apart." At the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, the band took home five trophies for the "Need You Tonight/Mediate" video.

Mercury/Universal reissued the album in 2004 as part of their Deluxe Edition series of albums. The two disc collection was bolstered by a disc of remixes, b-sides and outtakes.
