Despite Our Differences is the tenth studio album by the Indigo Girls, released in 2006. The title is drawn from third track, "I Believe in Love" (I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough/And I believe in you and I believe in love).

The album so far has a score of 75 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "generally favorable reviews". John Metzger from The Music Box described Despite Our Differences as "the most infectious, pop-infused set that the duo ever has managed to concoct. In fact, its melodies, harmonies, and arrangements are so ingratiating that the album carries the weight of an instant classic." Thom Jurek from Allmusic said it was "part of an emotional journey as complete as can be. More relevant than anyone dared expect. It's accessible and moving and true. It's their own brand of rock & roll, hewn from over the years, that bears a signature that is now indelible."

"Rock and Roll Heaven's Gate" features a guest appearance by Pink, and Brandi Carlile performs on "Last Tears"

The album opened at #44 on the Billboard charts.
