Strength is a studio EP by trumpeter Roy Hargrove and his group The RH Factor, released by Verve Records on September 28, 2004. It consists of two remixes plus unreleased material from the band's initial recording, Hard Groove, released the previous year.

Hargrove commented about the album, calling it a "dance record" which is "just another representation of the RH Factor, with an emphasis on what we're doing live ... The record company wanted to put out something with fewer songs so that they could really concentrate on promoting it."

Strength was nominated for Best Contemporary Jazz Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards.
