Adam and Eve is the fourth full-length album by the U.K. band Catherine Wheel. Released in 1997 (see 1997 in music), the album peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers and number 178 on the Billboard 200. The album featured more adventurous instrumentation than any prior Catherine Wheel LP, and completely shed the heavy metal sound of their previous studio album, Happy Days.

The Big Takeover magazine named Adam and Eve its album of the year for 1997, with Radiohead's OK Computer at #2.

An alternative cover design was released in some European countries, featuring primarily a green cover with only a few of the nude models in boxes in the center. Some of the band's concerts promoting this album featured actual nude models positioned in boxes onstage behind the band members.
