Achtung Bono is the tenth album by UK indie rock band Half Man Half Biscuit, released in 2005.

In 2010, a Facebook campaign was mounted with the aim of saving BBC 6 Music from threatened closure, and as a sign of protest to get "Joy Division Oven Gloves" from Achtung Bono to No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart on 12 April 2010. In the event, it entered the Singles Chart that week at No. 56 and the Independent Singles Chart at No. 3. Whether or not the campaign was influential, BBC 6 Music was saved.

Reviews were generally favourable:
