Risin' Outlaw is the debut studio album by American country music singer Hank Williams III. It was released on September 7, 1999, by Curb Records. The album was produced by Chuck Howard and Bob Campbell-Smith.

Williams has stated that he despises this album in particular and considers his next album Lovesick, Broke and Driftin' as his real debut. In an interview Williams gave with Country Standard Time, he said, "I'm not happy with it. I hate it; can't even listen to but maybe two songs on it. I said (to the label) that every damn interview that I do I ain't gonna talk good about it. Curb thinks this album is so different and so alternative. It's a headache."{{cite web| first=Tom | last=Netherland | url=http://www.rockabilly.net/articles/hank3c.shtml | title=Hank Williams III: Like grandfather, like grandson| publisher=Country Standard Time | date=1999-09-07 | accessdate=2012-04-20}}
