Raise Your Spirit Higher is an album by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It was released on 27 January 2004 and was a North American re-release of the group's latest album, Wenyukela (Raise Your Spirit Higher) of 2003. The album was expected to have (and it did have) a solemn touch (it was the first album release after the murder of leader Joseph Shabalala's wife Nellie, in May 2002).

As well as a standard CD release (HUCD 3083), the album was also released in a Hybrid SACD version (HUSA 9183).
