Sexy 8 Beat is the eighth studio album by the J-pop idol group Morning Musume.

It is the first album to feature 8th generation member Aika Mitsui and the last full-length studio release to feature 4th generation member Hitomi Yoshizawa as the group's leader and 6th generation member Miki Fujimoto as both the group's subleader. The album was released on March 21, 2007.

The album features the band's previous four singles "Aruiteru" (which also appeared on the EP 7.5 Fuyu Fuyu Morning Musume Mini! in December 2006), "Egao Yes Nude", "Sexy Boy: Soyokaze ni Yorisotte" and "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan". Also, as with Rainbow 7 and 7.5 Fuyu Fuyu..., tracks by four different sub-factions of the group are featured, including a solo track by Yoshizawa and the third pairing of Sayumi Michishige and Koharu Kusumi as their alter-egos "Shige-pinku" and "Koha-pinku" (first established on Rainbow 7's "Rainbow Pink").

The limited edition of the album includes a DVD; a bonus CD was also rumored for this edition but never materialized. The first pressing of the regular edition came with two photo cards.

All tracks written by Tsunku.

Tracks 2 and 3 on the DVD were recorded live at Hello! Project's 2007 Winter Wonderful Hearts Otome Gokoro concert.
