Let It Ride is the third studio album by the British band Shed Seven, released in 1998. The album spawned 4 hit singles for the band with Chasing Rainbows, She Left Me On Friday, The Heroes and Devil In Your Shoes all placing in the Top 40 of the UK Charts.

At the time of release the Shed's were deemed to be taking on a 'new', punchier sound with Let It Ride following first hearings of their comeback single, She Left Me On Friday, with various reviewers drawing comparisons to Blur.

The album was the first Shed Seven LP to be written solely by Rick Witter [Words] and Paul Banks [Music], according to the album's liner notes. The album also features Clint Boon of the Oldham based band, Inspiral Carpets, on keyboards, and Heather "Lady Galadril" Findlay, of the York based band, Mostly Autumn, on vocals.

The Japanese album release, along with a different album cover, featured a different running order with 2 additional bonus tracks, Slinky Love Theme and Happy Now, which were to be found as b-sides on the UK single releases of 'The Heroes' and 'Devil In Your Shoes (Walking All Over)', respectively.
