The Woods is the seventh studio album by the indie rock trio Sleater-Kinney. Released in 2005, the album marks a distinct departure from the group's punk and indie rock roots, and finds them moving towards a denser, heavier sound, clearly owing debt to classic rock acts such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The album was produced by Dave Fridmann, whose earlier work includes collaborations with The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev.

This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.

The Woods is available as a double vinyl set. The first record in the set is a marbled light green color, and the second record is a reddish brown with side D printed to look like a tree slice.
