Stranded is the third album by English rock band Roxy Music, released in late 1973.

It reached number one on the UK album charts. The cover shows Bryan Ferry's then girlfriend and 1973 Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole.

It was the first Roxy Music album on which Ferry was not the sole songwriter as multi-instrumentalist Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzanera also contributed to the album.

Though it was also the first without Brian Eno, who had left the group after For Your Pleasure, Eno nonetheless later rated it as Roxy Music's finest record. Despite this praise, the album only reached number 186 in the Top Pop Albums charts in the US.

The track "Street Life" was released as a single and reached number 9 on the UK charts.

The gatefold cover photograph was taken by Karl Stoecker and styled by Antony Price.
