Candlebox is the eponymous debut album of Seattle post-grunge band Candlebox. It contains their best known hit, "Far Behind," as well as the hit singles "You" and "Cover Me." The album was released in 1993 and has since been certified 4x Platinum in the United States. The cover art bares a striking similarity to that of the cover for the single "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil, who also inspired the name "Candlebox."

The music videos for "Far Behind" and "You" remained in longstanding rotation on MTV and became two of the most requested videos of 1993.

Other songs were recorded during the Candlebox sessions and included on other releases. "Can't Give In," for instance, appears on the Airheads film soundtrack. "Pull Away" also served as a B-side to the "You" CD single.
