Persevere is the fourth studio album by Scottish folk rock duo The Proclaimers, released in 2001 on their own label Persevere Records, as a comeback album after seven years of low profile. The album's first single featured "There's a Touch", "A Land Fit for Zeros" and "They Really Do" (not included in the album).

Persevere featured a roots rock sound, with members of The Allman Brothers Band, Elvis Costello's band The Attractions and the Rolling Stones performing on the record. Although the record was generally not received as well as previous efforts such as Sunshine on Leith (1988), critics generally saw the album's material to be strong, with Canadian music publication Exclaim! describing the work as a "remarkable comeback".[5][6]
