'Contraband' is the debut studio album by American hard rock supergroup Velvet Revolver. Originally released on June 8, 2004 by RCA Records, 'Contraband' was commercial success, debuting at number one on the American Billboard 200 chart.

Velvet Revolver formed when Guns N' Roses musicians Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums) combined to play at a benefit concert for fellow musician Randy Castillo in 2002. They decided to form a band and recruited guitarist Dave Kushner. Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots was recriuted as vocalist.
