Kokopelli is the second album by British band Kosheen released in the UK through Moksha Recordings on 11 August 2003. The album saw the band lean towards the rock music genre.
Band member Darren Beale states they named the album after a Native American deity named Kokopelli."Kosheen interview – BBC Southampton 22/09/03" . Kosheen.com. Retrieved 22 February 2009. He states that "He was a spiritual character and he used to travel from the all villages and reservations to spread fertility, you know, to make their crops grow. I suppose he was like a witch doctor as well and he used to do some music and dance. We were kind of into American history and culture anyway but then Sian was reading about this guy and we thought we'd link it to that."
