A Flock of Seagulls is the self-titled debut studio album by new wave band A Flock of Seagulls from Liverpool, released in April 1982 by Jive Records.

The cover design by Pete Watson shows a guitarist playing on television, with the TV set standing both in the sea, off a red rocky shore and circled by seagulls, and at the same time in the corner of a room, on the green floor, with a single tulip in a glass on top. The open window gives a view of a red sky where four yellow UFOs are approaching. At the top of the sleeve, the band name is shown in tightly spaced caps from Antikva Margaret. Designed by Hungarian typographer and type designer Zoltán Nagy (1920–1998), it was among the 15 award winning type face designs in a competition sponsored by VGC in 1966.
