Warnings/Promises is the fourth full-length album by Scottish rock band Idlewild, first released in March 2005 (see 2005 in music). Although it continued progressing in the same musical direction as had already been evident on The Remote Part, it further split the Idlewild fanbase.

This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.
