"Travistan" is Travis Morrison's solo debut album, released in 2004 (see 2004 in music) by Barsuk Records. The record is named after the van Morrison rode in during his former band The Dismemberment Plan's last tour Fact|date=February 2007.

Unlike the last two Dismemberment Plan albums, "Travistan"'s lyrics rely mainly on wit rather than introspection. The album's musical themes tend to meld familiar indie rock textures and more unusual Frank Zappaesque ideas. It steers largely clear of the funk, soul and hip-hop influences ubiquitous with the Plan Fact|date=July 2007.

The album is often noted in discussions of Pitchfork Media, as it marked one of the first moments when, after establishing itself as a critical powerhouse, the e-zine turned on an artist to whom it had previously given enthusiastic support. [cite web | last =Wilmoth | first =Charlie | title =All Y'All Haters | publisher =Dusted | url =http://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/651 | accessdate =2007-12-18] [cite web | last =du Lac | first = Freedom | title = Giving Indie Acts A Plug, or Pulling It | journal=Washington Post | date =April 30, 2006 | url =http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/28/AR2006042800457_pf.html] Pitchfork's vehement dislike for "Travistan" is often cited as the lone factor that created a cool commercial reception for the album, marking a turning point in Pitchfork's influence. The album was one of the rare albums to get a 0.0 rating on the website and it was described as "one of the most colossal trainwrecks in indie rock history."
