"Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!" was the second album released by the Icelandic alternative rock-pop band The Sugarcubes. The album was released in October 1989.

The name of the album was inspired by Mr. Toad from the famous children's book by Kenneth Grahame "The Wind in the Willows".

Contrary to their debut album "Life's Too Good", "Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!" was panned by critics and many fans. Much of the critical blame fell on the male singer Einar Örn because of his distorted screaming and moaning.
