Doll Revolution is the fourth studio album by the American pop rock band the Bangles. It was released on September 9, 2003 through Koch Records. It is the group's first original material since 1988's Everything.

All tracks were co-composed by members of the band, with the exception of "Tear Off Your Own Head" which was written by Elvis Costello.

The release of this album was patchy, being released in Europe and Japan before it was released in the United States.

The Limited Edition Bonus DVD features the digital debut of both songs from their first 45 single released in 1981, "Getting out of Hand" and "Call on Me", as well as an alternate mix of "Something That You Said."
