Rocket D.I.Y. is a studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter King Creosote, released on 4 April 2005 on Fence Records and Domino.

In 2009, the album was ranked #17 in The Skinnys "Scottish Albums of the Decade" list, with frequent collaborator The Pictish Trail stating, "Now, yes, I know, this was a Fence Records release, and, yes, I'm fully aware that I am a member of King Creosote's band. But I genuinely think, from start to finish, that this is the best album Scotland has produced since 01/01/00."^[1]
