Chuck is het derde studioalbum van de Canadese rockband Sum 41. Het album kwam op 12 oktober 2004 uit. Het is het laatste album met leadgitarist Dave Baksh welke de band verliet op 11 mei 2006 vanwege "creatieve verschillen" waarop hij verderging met zijn band Brown Brigade.

Het album is vernoemd naar Charles "Chuck" Pelletier, een vredeshandhaver van de Verenigde Naties. Hij hielp de band evacueren uit een onder vuur genomen hotel in Bukavu in de Democratische Republiek Congo waar ze een documentaire maakte met War Child Canada. Hun ervaringen zijn te zien op de dvd Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo.

De band won de Juno Award voor Beste Rock album van het jaar voor Chuck in 2005. Het album werd platinum in Canada en goud gecertificeerd in de Verenigde Staten.

Chuck is the third studio album by Canadian rock band Sum 41. The album was released on October 12, 2004. It was the last album to feature guitarist Dave Baksh before his departure from Sum 41 on May 11, 2006. Baksh later rejoined the band in 2015. Chuck peaked at No. 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart and No. 10 on the US Billboard 200, making it the band's highest-charting album until it would be surpassed by Underclass Hero in 2007.

The album's title is named after a volunteer UN peacekeeper named Chuck Pelletier who was in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where Sum 41 was filming a documentary for War Child Canada. Fighting broke out during production, and Pelletier helped the band evacuate their hotel during the fighting, as he was staying at the same hotel.

The album's lyrical content has been described as darker and more mature than the band's previous work. It also had a different sound, mixing punk rock and melodic hardcore with heavy metal. The album proved to be a success, receiving acclaim from both critics and fans, as well as selling over five million copies. Singles such as "We're All to Blame" and "Pieces" gained success on the Canadian and American charts, and the album won a Juno Award for "Rock Album of the Year" in 2005.
