Whiplash is the seventh studio album by British alternative rock band James. It contained the top ten hit "She's a Star" which re-established the group commercially. The sessions for the album were long and stretched over a period of more than 2 years with many unreleased songs being recorded – Brian Eno produced many of the early sessions and details some of these songs and the recording process in his book A Year with Swollen Appendices. The album was reissued in remastered form in 2001 with 4 bonus tracks.

Whiplash was chosen as one of the 50 best albums of 1997 by Q Magazine.

All tracks written by Tim Booth, Larry Gott and Jim Glennie; except where noted.
