White Flames is the first solo album by British blues guitarist Snowy White, released in 1983. It includes the song "Bird of Paradise", which reached No. 6 on the UK charts when it was released as a single.

The album has been issued with several different track lists and at least once under the title Bird of Paradise, after the hit single. It was remastered and reissued on CD in 2010 with the bonus track "For the Rest of My Life", a non-album B-side recorded live in the studio. Several songs differ slightly between the vinyl and CD editions of the album, with alternative mixes or edits in addition to the altered running order.
