Liberation Transmission is the third studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets. The album was released in June 2006 and became the first Lostprophets album to enter the UK album chart at number one (July 2 for 1 week). The album has gone Gold in the UK and was the 94th best selling album of 2006, with sales over 210,000 units.

This is the first Lostprophets album recorded without original drummer Mike Chiplin. Josh Freese drummed at the request of Bob Rock, but the band's first choice was Travis Barker. The current drummer of the band, Ilan Rubin, also played drums for the songs "Everybody's Screaming" and "For All These Times Son, For All These Times".

The Latin phrase on the album cover, "nobis pro lemma vobis", translates roughly as "For Us, For Them, For You", a lyric taken from their single "Burn Burn" off of their second album, Start Something.
