Stand Up is the second studio album by the British rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1969. Before Stand Up recordings began, the band's original guitarist Mick Abrahams resigned because of musical differences with Ian Anderson; Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues rock sound of the debut This Was, while Anderson wished to add other musical influences such as folk rock. He was replaced by guitarist Martin Barre, who appeared on every Jethro Tull album from this point on.

Stand Up represents the first album project on which Anderson was in full control of the music and lyrics. The result was an eclectic album with various styles appearing in its songs, yet an album which remained somewhat in the blues rock mould, which would be the last such album from Jethro Tull.

The album quickly went to number 1 in the UK charts, while the non-album single " Sweet Dream" rose to number 7.

Stand Up is the sixth album by Dave Matthews Band, released on May 10, 2005. It was produced by Mark Batson. It was their fourth consecutive number one album on the Billboard 200.

Stand Up may refer to:

• Stand-up comedy
• Stand up (military), the activation of a unit or command structure
• Stand-up fighting, a type of hand-to-hand combat
• Stand-up meeting, a daily team meeting, in agile software development

"...Stand up for your rights
Grab your baby and hold her tight
If she don't love you well it's OK
We're all gonna die anyway..."
