Flamingo is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter and The Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers. It was released on September 3, 2010, by Island Records. It was recorded at Battle Born Studios in Winchester, Nevada, and Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart.

After a mysterious countdown on The Killers' official website, Flowers confirmed on April 29, 2010, that he would be releasing a solo album titled Flamingo. The album is named after Flamingo Road (in Brandon's hometown of Las Vegas), where many pivotal events in his life occurred: Sam's Town Casino is on Flamingo, his first job was at a golf course on that road, and he met his wife in a thrift store on the road as well.

The track "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" references the Las Vegas Boulevard ("The Strip"). "Was It Something I Said?" references Tropicana Avenue and a job at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas located on the Fremont Street Experience. Track "Magdalena" references a 60-mile pilgrimage from Nogales to Magdalena in Sonora, Mexico.

The album was recorded primarily at Battle Born Studios in Winchester, Nevada. It was produced and mixed by Stuart Price, Daniel Lanois, and Brendan O'Brien. "Hard Enough" features a duet with Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis. "Fabulous Las Vegas" features bandmate Dave Keuning, while "Playing with Fire" and "Crossfire" feature bandmate Ronnie Vannucci, Jr.
