Contra is the 2nd studio album by the American indie rock band Vampire Weekend, produced by band member Rostam Batmanglij and released in January 2010 on XL Recordings. The album title is intended as a thematic allegory and reference to the Nicaraguan counter-revolutionaries and the 1987 video game Contra.

The title "Contra" is a Romance language (Latin-based) word meaning "against" or "opposite," and is sometimes given as a one-word interjection, used to indicate objection or opposition to an idea or explanation.

The album received critical praise and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. It was recognized as one of The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far by Pitchfork in August 2014.
