Honeycreeper is an album by Japanese pop band PUFFY that was released on September 26, 2007 in Japan. The album is notable for being the first Puffy album where "band Godfather", Andy Sturmer, is not credited for writing any of the songs.

"Hasan Jauze" is a cover of a song by The Cro-Magnons, which was released within two weeks' time of the original.

Current pressings of the album now have the cover that is used as the first pressing's tray liner picture. The first pressings of the album also had extra pages in the CD jacket booklet as well as differences in photo/lyric set-outs.

Puffy have said in an interview that inspiration for the album's title name, 'Honeycreeper', came from a leaflet they had come across while on a vacation in Hawaii, and that it was the name for a type of bird, similar to the ones seen on the album's cover.
