Coverdale and Page (sometimes written Coverdale•Page) is an album by Whitesnake lead vocalist David Coverdale and former Led Zeppelin and London session guitarist Jimmy Page (as Coverdale and Page), released by Geffen Records on 15 March 1993.

Adding to the Led Zeppelin sound of this album was the John Bonham-influenced[citation needed] and former Montrose drummer Denny Carmassi.

According to David Coverdale, the traffic sign shown on the cover of the album signified "two roads joining to one road. Try to express unification or joining together."[2]

The album reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 chart, while the first single released, "Pride and Joy", although barely making a dent on the pop charts, reached the No. 1 spot on the Album Rock Tracks chart for six weeks.
