Boneshaker is the fifth studio album by Australian hard rock band Airbourne. It was released on 25 October 2019 via Spinefarm and was produced by American record producer, songwriter and music executive Dave Cobb.

The Guardian's Dave Simpson rated the album 3/5 stars and said he preferred the History version, which precedes the songs with voiceovers describing the events the songs are about.
