Saturation (stylized as SATURATION) is the debut studio album by American hip hop collective BROCKHAMPTON, released on June 9, 2017. It primarily features Brockhampton members Kevin Abstract, Ameer Vann, Merlyn Wood, Dom McLennon, Matt Champion and Russell "JOBA" Boring. Group member bearface. also contributes to the album's closing track. Production was primarily handled by Romil Hemnani and Q3—a production duo consisting of Jabari Manwarring and Kiko Merley.

Saturation received general acclaim from music critics upon its release. DJBooth's Brent Bradley praised the group's chemistry, noting that "With Saturation, Brockhampton has cemented themselves as a force to behold, the next in an all-too-short line of examples in which groups manage to fully realize their dynamic potential". For RadioUTD, Roman Soriano referred to the group's members as "highly talented", continuing that "it’s incredible to think that this was put together in just three and a half weeks, given the complexity of this project", praising its "powerful lyricism, great storytelling, and ... cohesive but diverse sound". In a less positive review, Pitchfork's Matthew Strauss called the album a "split between effortless cool and empty platitudes", praising the group's stylishness and assertiveness, but criticising the album's less aggressive moments as "sappy", revealing "the collective’s lyrical weakness".
