Edited version of cover, sold at US retailer Wal-Mart.

Wolfmother is the first full-length album from the Australian three-piece psychedelic rock band Wolfmother. All four tracks previously released on the Wolfmother EP ("Woman", "White Unicorn", "Dimension" and "Apple Tree") have been altered slightly from their original versions, re-recorded and released upon this album.

The cover art for this album is taken from "The Sea Witch" by Frank Frazetta. Other Frazetta work appears as internal album art as well. Due to the original cover displaying nudity, the album is sold in Wal-Mart stores with an alternate cover, simply the Wolfmother logo against a black background.

The album was played on high rotation on Triple J whilst also earning the status of feature album of the week.

In 2005, Wolfmother won both the J Award and the listener's choice Album of the Year. A record six of the tracks made it into the Triple J Hottest 100, 2005.

The record sold 265,000 copies in the US.^{[citation needed]}

The song "Woman" from this album is featured in the PlayStation 2 video game Guitar Hero II, Tony Hawk's Project 8 for many of current and next-generation consoles, and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game) for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (only commercial ad).
