Gipsy Kings is the third album by the French Rumba Catalana band Gipsy Kings, which was released in 1987. The US and European versions of this album are identical except in some cases the song order may differ. The Japanese version released in 1995 includes an alternate version of "Vamos a Bailar". The song "Inspiration" from this album famously appeared in the season five episode of Miami Vice, "World of Trouble", in June 1988.

The album was their first to reach a worldwide audience, going gold across France, the UK, the US and other countries. In 1988, Gipsy Kings was released in the US and it spent 40 weeks on the Billboard 200, one of very few Spanish language albums to do so.
