Future Spa is the third album by Australian rock band The Fauves. It was released in August 1996.

The album contained two songs that appeared in Triple J Hottest 100, 1996, "Dogs Are the Best People" at No.20 and "Self Abuser" at No.30. It was nominated for Best Alternative Album in the 1997 ARIA awards but lost to Spiderbait's Ivy and the Big Apples. In November 2008, The Age reported that the album had sold 15,000 copies, making it the best-selling Fauves album.

Cox noted, "There are so many things you can write about, yet rock tends to limit itself to a very narrow band of what's acceptable. This is just our attempt to broaden that a little. Even if the lyrics aren't great, at least they're different. None of us are claiming to be poets."
