Kinky was Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus' fifth studio album, and was released on 9 April 1991 by RCA Records. It was produced by the group.

The album reached No. 172 on the American Billboard charts in 1991, with the single "Miss Freelove '69" (February 1991) reaching No. 19 on the ARIA Singles Chart, No. 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1991. Other singles were "1000 Miles Away" (June 1991, No. 37), "A Place in the Sun" (August 1991) and "Castles in the Air" (December 1991).

EMI re-released the album on 7 February 2005 with four additional tracks, a fold out poster and liner notes by Dave Gray (Rocket Science).

Hoodoo Gurus had formed in Sydney in 1981 with Dave Faulkner the mainstay as songwriter, lead singer and guitarist. He was later joined by Mark Kingsmill on drums, and Brad Shepherd on guitar, vocals, and harmonica. In 1988 Richard Grossman (ex Matt Finish, Divinyls) replaced Clyde Bramley on bass guitar. The most stable line-up of Faulkner, Grossman, Kingsmill, and Shepherd saw Hoodoo Gurus from 1988 to their hiatus in January 1998.
