Lysol (also known as Melvins, Untitled and Lice-All) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Melvins, released in 1992 via Boner Records.

The album cover is a painting based on a 1908 sculpture by Cyrus Edwin Dallin, Appeal to the Great Spirit. The image also appears on The Beach Boys in Concert, on the logo for Brother Records, and on the cover of The Time Is Near by the Keef Hartley Band.

The album consists of six separate tracks which were mastered and assembled as one "megacomposition". It also features covers of Flipper's "Sacrifice" (from the album Gone Fishin') and Alice Cooper's "Second Coming" and "The Ballad of Dwight Fry",[3] both from the album Love It to Death. The album has been credited as an influence on the drone doom genre and the band Sunn O))).[1]
