Raspberries is the debut album from the Raspberries, released in April 1972. It was their second highest-charting LP, reaching No. 51 on the Billboard album chart, but spent more weeks on the chart than all of their other albums combined.

The American and Australian versions of this LP carried a scratch and sniff sticker with a strong raspberry scent.

It contained two charting singles, "Don't Want to Say Goodbye", which reached No. 86, and their biggest hit, "Go All the Way", which reached No. 5.

The album was re-released onto CD as part of Power Pop Vol. 1, also containing their second album, Fresh.
