Beautiful Sharks is the second long-play album by Australian band Something for Kate. Released in 1999 it marked a change in musical direction, employing interesting and unconventional chord progressions and production. Sounding more sparse and open than their intense debut effort the album provided 4 singles: "Electricity", "Whatever You Want", "The Astronaut" and "Hallways". There was also a limited edition release of this album as a 2CD package, with multimedia content on the second disc.

This is the first album recorded with the band's current bass player Stephanie Ashworth, although some b-sides from this era are from recording sessions that have Toby Ralph on bass.
