Ćiribiribela is the ninth and final studio album released by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1988. Ćirbiribela would be the band's last release (excluding compilation albums) before the band's 2005 reunion and the live album Turneja 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd.

Ćiribiribela was released at the end of 1988. Recorded during the political crisis in Yugoslavia, the album was marked by the band's leader Goran Bregović's pacifist efforts: the album cover featured Edward Hicks' painting Noah's Ark on the cover, the song "Lijepa naša" ("Our Beautiful") featured the national anthem of Croatia "Lijepa naša domovino" ("Our Beautiful Homeland") combined with the Serbian World War I song "Tamo daleko" ("There, Far Away"), and the title track featured lyrics about a couple which wonders what are they going to do if war begins, and concludes that they are going to "stay at home and kiss".

The album recording revealed the crisis within the band. The songs "Lijepa naša" and "Evo, zakleću se" were played by studio musician Nenad Stefanović "Japanac" on bass guitar and Bajaga i Instruktori member Vladimir "Vlajko" Golubović on drums, which was caused clashes between Bregović and Bijelo Dugme bassist Zoran Redžić and drummer Ipe Ivandić.

The lyrics for the song "Đurđevdan je, a ja nisam s onom koju volim" were, by Bregović's words, inspired by a verse from Đorđe Balašević's song "Priča o Vasi Ladačkom" ("The Story of Vasa Ladački").

All songs written by Goran Bregović, except where noted.
