Stripped is The Rolling Stones album released in November 1995 during the Voodoo Lounge Tour. It is a mixture of live and studio recordings of songs from their previous catalogue. The two exceptions being Willie Dixon's "Little Baby" and Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone".

The two studio sessions were recorded from 3–5 March 1995 in Tokyo, Japan and 23–26 July in Lisbon, Portugal, while the live recordings are from small venue performances in London, Paris and Amsterdam.

Some CD versions of Stripped included an enhanced portion for viewing on a computer, including videos of rehearsals of "Tumbling Dice" and "Shattered" and an alternate performance of "Like a Rolling Stone," and interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

It was their second album with Virgin Records. Stripped (a play on the title of Unplugged) was well-received and reached No. 9 in the UK and the US, where it went platinum. The lead single, a cover of Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," reached No. 12 in the UK, becoming a rock radio hit in the US, and was followed up by "Wild Horses" in early 1996.

The album was digitally remastered and re-issued in 2009.
