Underwater Moonlight is the second studio album by English rock band the Soft Boys, released in June 1980 by record label Armageddon.

Initially unsuccessful, the album has gone on to be viewed as a psychedelic classic, influential on the development of the neo-psychedelia music genre and on a number of bands, especially R.E.M. It is included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[7]
