Springtime for the World is the fifth album by British band The Blow Monkeys, released in 1990. The work represented the band's ultimate transformation into a dance music act, a direction the band had been gradually moving since their biggest hit single, "It Doesn't Have to Be This Way" (number 5 in the UK Singles Chart in 1987), and the album it was taken from, She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter.
The album's title track, "Springtime for the World", reached number 69 in the UK Singles Chart.
