Cunning Stunts is the fifth studio album by the Minneapolis-based noise rock band Cows, released on September 9, 1992 by Amphetamine Reptile Records. It was their first album where they began developing real melodies and patterns instead of their usual blasts of noise. The switch to producer Iain Burgess brought an increase in sound quality from previous albums. It is no longer in print; however, it is available online at wmp.emusic.com, on Windows Media Player 10 and on iTunes.

The title is a spoonerism of the term "stunning cunts."
