Violent Revolution is the tenth studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator. It was released on 25 September 2001 and is the band's first album to feature lead guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö. After almost a decade of musical experimentation with their metal sound (starting with Renewal), with this album the band returned to their 1980s thrash metal style.

Violent Revolution is now considered to be the catalyst of the early 2000s thrash metal revival movement.[4][5][6]

In 2005, Violent Revolution was ranked number 436 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[7]
