Stand Up is the sixth studio album by the American rock band Dave Matthews Band. It was released on May 10, 2005, through RCA Records. The album was primarily recorded at Haunted Hollow Studio in Charlottesville, Virginia and was the band's first album to be produced by Mark Batson. It is the band's last album to feature full participation from saxophonist LeRoi Moore before his death in 2008.

Stand Up was a commercial success, becoming the band's fourth consecutive album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. The album spawned one single, "American Baby", and it became their highest-charting song, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Three other songs from the album—"Dreamgirl", "Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives)", and "Smooth Rider"—were released as promotional singles. Critical reception was positive, with many praising the band's ability to update its sound with elements of soul and funk.
