Identity Crisis is the debut studio album by American rock band Thrice, released on Greenflag Records on June 6, 2000. Following the release of their debut EP First Impressions and a brief break in touring, frontman Dustin Kensrue became an employee at Greene Records. Owner Andy Greene was interested in funding the band's debut album; sessions were held at For the Record in Orange, California with the band and Paul Miner as producers.

Identity Crisis received generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom praised the album's mix of styles. After the album's release, the band gained manager Nick Bogardus and was put in contact with Louis Posen of Hopeless Records. He signed them to the Hopeless imprint Sub City Records. The label re-issued the album on March 6, 2001, when it was promoted with tours with Samiam and Midtown.
