Veni Vidi Vicious is the second album by Swedish garage punk band The Hives, released in April 2000. It was released through Burning Heart Records and distributed through Warner Music Group. The Japanese release included several extra tracks and other bonus features.

The album received particularly high reviews, earning a score of 84 on Metacritic.

In 2005, Veni Vidi Vicious was ranked number 399 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.

All songs written by Randy Fitzsimmons, except "Find Another Girl", written by Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield.

Veni Vidi Vicious was ranked number 91 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 100 albums of the decade. Subsequently, "Hate to Say I Told You So" was ranked #244 on Pitchfork's list of the top 500 songs of 2000-2009.
