Contact from the Underworld of Redboy is an album by Robbie Robertson. It was released in 1998 by Capitol Records. The album is composed of music inspired by Aboriginal Canadian music (including traditional Aboriginal Canadian songs and chants), as well as modern rock, trip hop, and electronica, with the various styles often integrated together in the same song. It features many guest artists.

The album peaked at No. 119 on the Billboard 200.

Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that Robertson's "lyrical and musical concerns can get bogged down in their own pretensions, but often, the results are provocative and unique."
