Something Beginning with C is an album by New Zealand band the Exponents, released in 1992.^[2] It reached number one and spent 19 weeks on the New Zealand Albums Chart^[3] and went three times platinum.

It was the first album to be credited as the Exponents, rather than their former name the Dance Exponents. It is the band's fourth studio album overall.

In May 2013, Universal Music re-released the album digitally in New Zealand in remastered standard and deluxe editions. The deluxe edition has thirteen additional tracks of B-sides and the original UK demo of "Why Does Love Do This To Me".^[4] The album title was a play on the original plan of the band's to have the initials of their albums spell 'peace'.
