"The Violin Player" was the first techno/pop album by classical and pop musician Vanessa-Mae, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). It is also the first album Vanessa-Mae released on the EMI label.

"The Violin Player" has a unique blend of music – covers of some classical (J.S. Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor"), remakes of old favorites (Mason Williams' "Classical Gas") and originals (seven tracks composed by British musician and songwriter Mike Batt), and one original by Vanessa-Mae herself with co-writing of Ian Wherry (Red Hot).

"The Violin Player" has sold over 8 million copies, and is still regarded by many as Vanessa-Mae's best work.
