Biscuits for Breakfast is the second album from British musician Fin Greenall and, collectively as Fink, the band's debut album. It was released in 2006 on Ninja Tune.

Prior to this album, Fin Greenall had been DJing and producing for label Ninja Tune from around 1997. He cites listening to Zero 7's first album Simple Things as one of the many inspirations for him to try something a little different from his dub roots, and old friend Guy Whittaker as well as newly acquainted Tim Thornton saw the rebirth of the name "Fink" as a trio. It was released throughout Europe in the spring of 2006.

The album has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Thom Jurek from Allmusic gave the album 3 and a half stars out of 5, commenting that "there is a wonderfully intimate smokiness in Fink's approach to his songs". Ben Hogwood of musicOMH gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying of Greenall that he "sounds totally at ease expressing himself in this medium" and the album is "a small gem of a record".Pixelsurgeon awarded 9 circles out of 10, with Sam Gilbey praising the effort, as the "whole album swaggers with a natural confidence that few manage within any genre".
