Rancid (commonly referred to as Rancid 5 or Rancid 2000) is the second self-titled studio album by the American punk band Rancid, released on August 1, 2000. It is Rancid's most hardcore offering to date,^{[neutrality disputed]} which was released as a follow up to the more ska and reggae oriented Life Won't Wait. It spans 22 tracks in under 40 minutes, resulting in over 3/4 of the songs clocking at under 2 minutes. Songs on the album make reference to famous gangster Al Capone, as well as Norse God Loki, and Don Giovanni.

Brett Gurewitz temporarily reunited with Rancid and became their producer for this album. It was 6 years since he co-produced the band's 1994 second album Let's Go, although he engineered the band's 1995 classic …And Out Come the Wolves. Rancid and Gurewitz would continue their collaboration for their next two albums, Indestructible and Let the Dominoes Fall.
