Dragline is the debut studio album by the American grunge band Paw. It was released on May 4, 1993 through A&M Records. While the album was not a commercial success, it is generally considered among fans and critics to be the band's best album.

The single "Jessie," released in 1993, became a minor hit. Other singles from the album included "Lolita" in 1992 and "Sleeping Bag" and "Couldn't Know" in 1993.

The songs "Jessie," "Pansy," and "The Bridge" were featured in the video game Road Rash for the Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Windows, PlayStation, and 3DO.

In 2015 the album was re-released by Cherry Red Records Ltd. with all the b-sides from the singles as bonus tracks as well as extensive liner notes and a slightly different artwork (the band logo and the title are smaller).[3]
