The Libertines is the second studio album by English indie rock band The Libertines. Released on 30 August 2004, it is particularly biographical of the relationship between frontmen Carl Barât and Pete Doherty. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 72,189 copies in its first week of release.

The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[12] In 2006, NME placed the album 47 in a list of the greatest British albums ever.[13] In 2013, NME ranked the album at number 99 in its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[14] On the other hand, The Libertines was voted the third-most overrated album ever made in a 2005 BBC public poll.[15]

The Libertines, like its 2002 predecessor, Up the Bracket, was re-released with a bonus DVD on 22 November 2004. The DVD, entitled Boys in the Band, is a collection of live shows, band interviews, and the "Can't Stand Me Now" promotional video.

The song "Arbeit Macht Frei" featured in the 2006 film Children of Men.
