Fireships is the 19th studio album by English singer and songwriter Peter Hammill.

The sleeve notes label the album "Number 1 in the BeCalm series", and its songs are generally at the gentler, more introspective end of Hammill's work.

Hammill's next album, the more rocking The Noise (1993), was similarly labelled as "Number 1 in the A Loud series".

Hammill decided to put the quiet and loud songs he had recently written and recorded on separate albums.

At the time of the album's release, Hammill (in a rare piece of merchandising) issued a limited edition of 500 numbered prints of the cover, signed by himself and the artist, Paul Ridout.
