Punishing Kiss is a studio album by Ute Lemper, released in 2000. It is the product of a collaboration between Lemper and The Divine Comedy. It includes songs by Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, The Divine Comedy, Philip Glass, Tom Waits, Scott Walker and Ute Lemper's signature Kurt Weill.

Most of the songs feature The Divine Comedy as Lemper's backing band. Neil Hannon and Joby Talbot also contributed two original songs and an arrangement of Brecht and Weill's "Tango Ballad", whilst Neil Hannon sang two songs ("Tango Ballad", "Split") as duets with Lemper.

The French version of the album includes a bonus CD with three songs in French. Arthur H sings with Ute Lemper in "Maison Close", the translation of "Tango Ballad".

The Japanese version of the album includes an additional track: "Lullaby", written by Scott Walker.
