Velocity is the debut studio album by American new wave and synth-pop band the Vels, released in 1984 by Mercury Records and PolyGram. Whilst the album itself failed to chart, it featured two songs that charted on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, with "Hieroglyphics" peaking at No. 30 and "Look My Way" peaking at No. 39. "Look My Way" also peaked at No. 72 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, their only showing on that chart.
To date, the album remains unavailable on CD, and it has been out of print since its initial release on vinyl and cassette. However, in 2023 Vels' founding member Charles Hanson made Velocity available for streaming, and as a digital download on Amazon Music, and the iTunes Store, with a rearranged track listing, and two bonus tracks.
