'Raw Power' is the third album by legendary American rock band Iggy & The Stooges, first released in 1973.

'Raw Power' was largely ignored upon its release, and the group broke up in obscurity a few years later. However, it was embraced by a small, rabid fan-base that included many younger musicians who would go on to help create the punk rock genre in the mid-to late-1970s and experience commercial success, making 'Raw Power' one of the most important proto-punk documents of its era.

'Raw Power' was ranked number 125 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
