Eureka is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band Rooney. It was released on June 8, 2010.

The album is the band's first to be released on their own label California Dreamin' Records. The album was released on CD and vinyl, with a deluxe digital edition featuring four bonus tracks. The band took pre-orders for the album where fans could choose from an autographed CD or vinyl in addition to an exclusive t-shirt. The entire album was streamed a week before its release date on the group's MySpace page. Bassist Matthew Winter departed from the band after the recording of the album. While he is featured on the recording of the album, he is not on the album cover.

On May 14, 2010 the band debuted the video for first single "I Can't Get Enough." A second single "Holdin' On" was released early in 2011. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 153. It received mixed reviews.
