California Breed is the only studio album by English–American hard rock band California Breed. Produced by Dave Cobb, the album was released in May 2014 through Frontiers Records.

Background California Breed was formed in 2013 by Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham (both having recently been part of Black Country Communion), and Andrew Watt; Hughes and Watt initially began writing together after meeting, with Bonham finalising the trio's lineup shortly after. The group recorded its debut album throughout late 2013, an album which was recorded live-to-tape in the studio, and the formation of the band was formally announced the following year.
