Flowers is the eighth U.S. studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1967. A mishmash collection, these tracks had either appeared as singles, been left off of the American versions of Aftermath and Between the Buttons, culled from studio sessions dating back several years, or simply reissues of songs recently released on other albums.

The title refers to the album's cover, with flower stems underneath the portrait of each band member. Bassist Bill Wyman claims that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards deliberately arranged the stem of Brian Jones's flower so that it had no leaves, as a prank. He later stated that "I didn't get the joke".

Flowers reached #3 in the US during the late summer of 1967 and went gold. In August 2002 it was remastered and reissued on CD and SACD digipak by ABKCO Records.
