Joshua Michael Homme (/ˈhɒm.i/ HOM-ee; born May 17, 1973) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. He is the founder and only continuous member of the rock band Queens of the Stone Age, in which he sings and plays guitar, as well as occasionally playing piano, drums, and bass. He also serves as the band's primary songwriter.

Homme was formerly a guitarist and founder of the stoner rock band Kyuss. He co-founded and occasionally performs with Eagles of Death Metal, playing drums and bass for their studio recordings, and produces a musical improv series with other musicians, mostly from the Palm Desert Scene, known as The Desert Sessions. In 2009, he formed a new project called Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, who released their debut album that same year. In 2016, he released Post Pop Depression, an album with Iggy Pop. He has been involved with numerous other projects, including Arctic Monkeys and Biffy Clyro.

Joshua Michael Homme was born on May 17, 1973 in Joshua Tree, California. He grew up in an affluent family in Palm Desert, California. His grandfather, Cap, moved to the area from North Dakota when Homme's father was a child. His surname is of Norwegian origin and is believed to come from the town of Valle. Homme's additional ancestry includes English, French-Canadian, German, and Swedish. The Homme family have a local street named after them in a golfing community, and Cap has a park named after him in an exclusive enclave of the Coachella Valley. In 2011, Homme discussed having to "create your own fun" as a child growing up in the desert, stating that he did not start playing music to "get girls or make money" and that he assumed that he would grow up to be "a good contractor like [his] dad".
