Homesick is a studio album from the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue. Released in May 2001, it was the band's fifth or sixth studio album (depending on whether you count the part-studio, part-compilation; 1999's 'Walking Back Home' album). It was recorded in Glasgow and represents the last recordings by the entire original band; preceding their split, caused by the tragic early death of Graeme Kelling

A promotional CD was made available to readers of The Daily Telegraph via a voucher appearing in the newspaper two weeks before the album release date. This contained three tracks from the album (Silverlake, This Train Will Take You Anywhere, and Homesick, the last in an exclusive acoustic mix), and three other tracks (Away, Wages Day, and Dignity).
