"The Red" is a song by American rock band Chevelle. It is the fifth track and lead single from their major label debut, Wonder What's Next, released in 2002.

The song is about dealing with frustration and anger. Its music video depicts an anger management seminar where vocalist Pete Loeffler ascends a podium and sings the verse lyrics. The video then breaks to Chevelle performing the heavy chorus under red lighting. The agitated seminar participants, which include band members Sam Loeffler and Joe Loeffler, begin tossing folding chairs. By the end of the song, it is revealed that the fight happened to be just a daydream.
