Brian Wilson is the eponymous debut studio album by Brian Wilson released in July 1988 on Sire Records. It was voted one of the best albums of 1988 by NME, and as part of its acclaim, garnered the nickname Pet Sounds 88 among some critics. Brian Wilson has since been reissued on several formats with bonus tracks, and cited by some as a standout in Wilsons solo oeuvre.

Working with an array of collaborators including his therapist Eugene Landy, Wilson accordingly themed the album around love and spirituality exemplified by its lead single Love and Mercy. Although the albums sessions were contentious, where some participants demanded a progressive artistic statement versus conventional pop songs, nearly a quarter of the LP is devoted to Rio Grande, a piece which was intended to rekindle Wilsons experimental drive from the mid 1960s and early 1970s.
