"Re-Offender" is a song by Scottish alternative rock band Travis and is the third track on their 2003 studio album 12 Memories. The song was also released as the first single from that album, peaking at #7 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2003 in British music). The song depicts a relationship marred with domestic violence.

The video depicts the band playing small venues in and around Glasgow, during which time each band member in turn falls out with the other and they end up in a fight. It was directed by Anton Corbijn
