Outrider is an album by Jimmy Page, released by Geffen Records on June 19, 1988. It is his first (to date, only) proper solo album, and the first time since 1969 he recorded with another label other than Atlantic Records/Swan Song Records. It was recorded at The Sol, a studio owned by Page at the time. Robert Plant guests on one track, "The Only One", while John Bonham's son Jason drums with Page for the first time on record.

This was originally intended to be a two album release. However, during the early recording stages of this album, Page's house was broken into and amongst the items stolen were the demo tapes which had been recorded up to that point. Reportedly some of these demos were released as bootleg recordings and according to various Led Zeppelin biographies, Page was rather demoralized in regards to the break-in and the album suffered as a result.[citation needed]

The album reached #26 on Billboard's Billboard 200 chart, also peaking at #27 on the UK Album Chart.

All songs by Jimmy Page unless otherwise noted.
