Levelling the Land is the second full-length album by the Brighton folk-punk group, The Levellers, released in 1991.[3] The album reached number 14 in the UK album charts[4] and has since gained platinum status through ongoing sales.[5] The original album pressing contained ten tracks but following the success of the single "Fifteen Years", which peaked at #11 on the UK charts in May 1992,[6] the song was added as track three to later pressings.

This was the first Levellers album to feature the input of Simon Friend as songwriter, vocalist and musician. He replaced Alan Miles, who had sung and played guitar and mandolin on the previous album, A Weapon Called the Word. "Liberty Song" on this album was co-written by Miles.
