Miaow is the fourth album by The Beautiful South. It was released in March 1994.

As with most Beautiful South albums, the songs were written by Dave Rotheray and Paul Heaton and Dave Hemmingway. At the time of its writing, Paul was going through a depressed time; this is reflected in the songs.

The songs also led the South's first female singer, Briana Corrigan, to leave the band, after Heaton sent her copies of the songs, including "Mini-correct" and "Worthless Lie", she swiftly made the decision to leave. Equally swiftly, Heaton employed the then-unknown Jacqui Abbott in her place, who went on to appear on every album up to Painting It Red.

The cover originally depicted a lot of dogs seated in a music hall with a gramophone on the stage. However, HMV made the band withdraw it as it mocked their trademark dog, and the band put out a second cover, depicting four dogs in a boat.

It reached number 6 in the album charts, and had three singles were released from it.
