Domino is a 1998 album by the British new wave group Squeeze. It was the band's twelfth studio album. After a career struggling with various major record labels, the band decided to record and release Domino independently, on Glenn Tilbrook's own . Core members Tilbrook and Chris Difford were joined by three brand new Squeeze members for this album: drummer Ashley Soan, bassist , and keyboardist Christopher Holland (Jools's younger brother).

The album was hastily made, and received negative reactions from critics.[1] Difford and Tilbrook have both since denounced Domino as a weak effort, marred by time constraints and increasing friction between the two songwriters.[2] Difford chose not to join a 1999 tour due to concerns related to his history of alcoholism,[3] after which Squeeze disbanded.[4] The album did not appear in the UK Albums Chart; their first to fail to do so.[5]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic was highly dismissive of the record,[1] proclaiming it to be a "disappointment" and a "dud", further commenting that "all the familiar elements are in place,[1] but nothing really clicks".[1]
