Peng! is the debut studio album by English-French band Stereolab.[1] It was released on 26 May 1992 by Too Pure in the United Kingdom.[2] The album was issued in the United States on 13 June 1995 by Too Pure and American Recordings.[3] A remastered edition of the album was released on 9 November 2018 by Too Pure and Beggars Arkive.[4]

The album's title (a German onomatopoeia for a loud pop or bang) and cover art are derived from a comic strip named "Der tödliche Finger" that appeared in a 1970 issue of Hotcha, a Swiss underground newspaper.[5] Different panels of the same strip were adapted into cover art for other early Stereolab releases, and remain popular icons for the band.
