Stain is the third album by Living Colour. It was released on March 2, 1993, by Epic Records. It is the first album to feature Doug Wimbish. The album features a much heavier and angrier Living Colour, containing elements of thrash metal and industrial music. The album reached #26 on the Billboard 200. The band would split up on January 1995 following a tour with Bad Brains in support of the album (one of their last-ever shows - before reuniting years later - would be a performance at CBGB's).

The cover shows a woman wearing a brank.

The album is now out of print.
