Resolver is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band Veruca Salt.[10][11] It was released on May 16, 2000, on Beyond Records, followed by an Australian release on December 6, 2002. The album was the first for the band after the departure of all the founding members but Louise Post, who became the band's sole frontwoman.[12][13]

Like their previous album, Eight Arms to Hold You, the title is inspired by The Beatles; in this case, a play on the title of their 1966 album Revolver.[3]
