P.H.U.Q. is the second full length album by British Rock band The Wildhearts, which was released on 22nd May 1995 on East West Records and entered the UK Albums Chart at #6.

It is the first Wildhearts album to be recorded without original guitarist/singer CJ, who had been fired from the band during the previous year.

It was the band's original vision to follow up Earth vs the Wildhearts with a double album, wanting to include longer, more intricate songs such as 'Inglorious' and 'Do The Channel Bop'. However, lack of support from their record label, EastWest, meant that the six songs written by that point were instead released as a fan club-only mini-album, Fishing for Luckies, prior to the release of P.H.U.Q.

Ginger has said the title of the album is pronounced "fuck" in the 'Ask Ginger' section of the band's official website.
