Conspiracy of One is an album released by The Offspring on November 14, 2000. It is an Enhanced CD and contains the karaoke videos of "Original Prankster" and "One Fine Day", and the previous MTV music videos from Americana.

The Offspring has come out in support of file sharing, claiming it does not hurt sales. This album was originally planned to be released directly on their website before retail, until their label threatened to sue.

To date, Conspiracy of One remains the band's final studio album with the "classic" line-up as drummer Ron Welty left the band in early 2003 to pursue his career with Steady Ground.

This is also the first Offspring studio album that does not have the word "fuck" in any of the lyrics. However, the bonus track, "Huck It", which only appeared on certain copies of the album does contain use of the word.
