V is the fifth studio album by the instrumental stoner rock band Karma to Burn. It was released on May 27, 2011, by Napalm Records.[6] The album was later reissued in 2022 by Heavy Psych Sounds Records.[7]

Unlike previous releases, V is not solely an instrumental album. Five tracks are instrumental; the other three feature vocals from Year Long Disaster frontman Daniel Davies. As with previous albums, the instrumental tracks are titled with numbers and vocal tracks are titled with words. The album title is derived from the Roman numeral of five.
