Vee Vee is the second studio album by the American indie rock band Archers of Loaf, released in March 1995 by Alias Records. The album received very positive reviews from critics.

Vee Vee was recorded in Chicago, Illinois in August 1994 and produced by the band and Bob Weston. It was released in March 1995 by the independent record label Alias Records. A 2-disc reissue of the album, containing several rarities, demos, and B-sides, was released on February 21, 2012 by Merge Records.

Vee Vee received very positive reviews from critics. Writing for Spin, Natasha Stovall praised Eric Bachmann's honest singing, stating that his "hoary, nasal desperation embodies Vee Vee's sublte mix of motivations." In a retrospective review, Gregory Heaney of AllMusic said that the album "found Archers of Loaf proving time and time again that what really matters in music is heart, sweat, and grit, and that if you have those on your side, everything else just kind of falls into place."

All songs written by Archers of Loaf, except where noted.
