"Speech" was the fourth and last album of the British blues-rock band Steamhammer.

In 1971, Kieran White and Steve Davy left Steamhammer, and Louis Cennamo (bass) joined the band. This lineup, together with session vocalist Garth Watt-Roy, recorded this album, which was released in 1972. It consisted of three long and mostly instrumental songs.

After "Speech" was recorded, Mick Bradley died of leukemia later in 1972. This led to the break-up of Steamhammer, so this was their last album.
