Return to V is the second solo studio album by the drum and bass DJ Roni Size. It was released in 2004. The album was influenced by Size's love of soul music; many of the songs make use of vocalists.{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TRMEAAAAMBAJ&q=Return+to+V+roni+size+2004&pg=PA23|title=Beat Box|work=Billboard|date=December 4, 2004|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|via=Google Books}}
