Howlin' Wind is the debut album by English singer-songwriter Graham Parker and his band the Rumour, released in April 1976.

Critics likened Parker's spirit to British punk rock, then in its early stage, and retrospectively to that of singer-songwriters Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson, who would release their debut records within a few years of Howlin' Wind.

Many of the album's songs became live staples for the group, especially the reggae-tinged "Don't Ask Me Questions", which dismisses a malevolent God.

The title track "Howlin' Wind" bracingly announces Graham Parker's career aim: "I'm gonna howl".
