Cunning Stunts is the sixth studio album by progressive rock band Caravan, released in 1975. The title of the album is a spoonerism for 'Stunning Cunts', which is typical of their cheeky use of language. Two previous Caravan albums with titles that are also sexual plays on words are "If I Could Do It Again, I'd Do It All Over You" (their second album from 1970) and "Girls Who Grow Plump In the Night" (their fifth album from 1973).

Allmusic described it as "a solid, varied, and interesting album with plenty of character."[1]
