Stain is the third studio album by American rock band Living Colour. It was released on March 2, 1993, by Epic Records. It is the first album to feature bassist Doug Wimbish. Stain features a generally heavier sound with more pessimistic themes, the songs representing a range of genres. It peaked at #26 on the Billboard 200.

The song `Leave It Alone` was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards in 1994, but lost to `Plush` by Stone Temple Pilots.

From the mid-1990s through the early 2010s, the album was out of print due to rights issues after a lawsuit from Jon Stainbrook of the band The Stain forced Sony to cease production of the album.[8][9] In November 2013, the album was reissued by Music On CD and is also available as an MP3 download. In June 2018, the album was reissued on limited edition green vinyl.

The album has retrospectively been considered a `dark horse` in the alternative rock, hard rock, and heavy metal genres.[10]

Background
In 2015, Corey Glover explained, `Stain was a darker turn for us. Muzz was out of the band at that point, and Doug had taken over, and we kind of got really dark. I think about songs like `Postman,` and just how menacing and dark that song is. It had some very interesting things about it, and I think it was a turn. And part of that I think was about how far we had gotten to that point...I don`t know if `jaded` is the word, but we were sort of worn out by the world that we lived in. And just reflecting how worn out we were getting. I think it holds up. If you want to hear some really good hard rock - closer to the metal parts of our existence - I think Stain is the record that has the most of that.`[11]

The sample `Fifty-six times in eighty-one seconds. Something like this,` at the start of `This Little Pig` is taken from Bill Bradley discussing the blows of the four officers beating Rodney King.[12]

The cover art features a woman, the model Mouri Mbonika, wearing a scold`s bridle.
