Party of One is an album by English singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. Produced by Dave Edmunds, it was released in 1990 by Reprise Records and reissued with altered cover art and two bonus tracks in 1995 by Upstart Records.

Party of One is notable for being one of only two Nick Lowe solo albums with no covers, as it is made up entirely of songs written or co-written by Lowe (the other album is 1982's Nick the Knife).
