Underneath the Colours is Australian rock group INXS' second album. It was released in Australia in 1981. It was with this album that Michael Hutchence's songwriting started to mature and the band started to find a unique sound. Included were political songs and their very first ballad. It was released outside Australia and New Zealand in 1984, as the band were gaining momentum in their success.

The cover is an uncredited linocut by British artist Cyril Power entitled Underneath The Colours.
