Automatic is the third studio album by Scottish alternative rock band the Jesus and Mary Chain, released on 9 October 1989 by Blanco y Negro Records.

The group on this record consists of the core duo of brothers William and Jim Reid, with a drum machine providing percussion and synthesised bass.

The only other credited musician was Richard Thomas, who joined the touring version of the Jesus and Mary Chain as a drummer.

Although released to generally mixed reviews at the time (with the aforementioned synthesised drums and bass being the biggest point of contention), Automatic contains "Blues from a Gun", their most successful single in America up to that point, and "Head On" (later covered by Pixies).

Pitchfork wrote in 2006 that "conventional wisdom wrongly calls [Automatic] the dud" of the band's discography, but that in hindsight the album "feels like a career peak".
