Speakerzoid is the second studio album by Australian indie rock band the Jungle Giants. The album was released on 7 August 2015 and peaked at number 25 on the ARIA Charts.

Lead singer Sam Hales explains the title comes from his girlfriend misunderstanding a lyric in a song. He said "Someone was playing the Sonic Youth song Teenage Riot' and my girlfriend thought she was saying 'Speakerzoid' (when she was saying 'spirit desire'). After a while I just really liked the word."

Upon release, Hales told The AU Review "We've always looked for the opportunity, if you've seen us live, whenever we get the chance, we'll lose our heads a bit and go crazy. With this record, we wanted to create more chances for that, more opportunities for a stage dive or anything like banging your head on guitars! It's a record that we wanted to make so that the live sets would come together as this big thing that, once you left, your brain would be a bit fried."

The album was supported by an Australian tour throughout September and October 2015 and the US in October and November 2015.
