500 Degreez is the third studio album by American rapper Lil Wayne, released July 23, 2002 on Cash Money Records.

The title of the album is a nod to fellow rapper Juvenile's album from four years earlier, 400 Degreez. The album peaked at number six on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and peaked at number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. But the album was certified gold by the RIAA next to his recent second album Lights Out.
