Resolving Contradictions is the second solo studio album by English rock musician Andy Mackay, released on Bronze Records in 1978.

Andy Mackay was once Roxy Music's saxophonist, and some members of the group play on this album. The record is a 'concept album' with references to the Chinese culture. The cover, designed by Jane Mackay, figures a post-Cultural Revolution scene.
