Pablo Honey is the first studio album by British rock band Radiohead, first released in winter 1993. It contains the hit song "Creep". The album's title comes from a Jerky Boys' prank call skit in which the caller asks "Pablo honey, please come to Florida!" to its victim.

In 1992 the band came up with their "Scott Walker song" – "Creep". The song, whose self-loathing lyrics struck a chord with many fans, was released around the same time as other so-called "slacker" anthems such as Beck's "Loser". The band are not unanimously pleased with "Creep" and believe that its meaning had been misinterpreted and given too much weight by fans. Rumour states that Greenwood's famous guitar crunches were supposedly an attempt to ruin a song he didn't like. "Jonny played the piano at the end of the song and it was gorgeous" stated producer Paul Kolderie. "Everyone who heard 'Creep' just started going insane. So that's what got us the job doing the album."

In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Pablo Honey the 61st-greatest album of all time.
