Bone Machine is a critically acclaimed and award-winning album by Tom Waits, released in 1992 on Island Records. It won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, and features guest appearances by Primus's Les Claypool and The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards.

Bone Machine marked a return to studio material for Waits, coming a full five years after his previous studio album Franks Wild Years (1987). The album is often noted for its dark lyrical obsession with death and murders, and for its rough, stripped-down, percussion-heavy blues rock style.
