Prick is the debut album by American industrial rock band, Prick, fronted by Kevin McMahon. It was released on January 25, 1995 via Nothing Records, Nine Inch Nails founder Trent Reznor's vanity label and a subdivision of Interscope Records. The album was produced by Warne Livesey and Reznor, who also engineered on four tracks.

The album sold 66,000 copies.[1] The tracks "Communiqué"/​"Crack" and "Animal" were released as singles. "Animal" became a minor alternative radio hit and was accompanied by a music video.[1][2][3] A follow-up album, The Wreckard, was released independently in 2002 after it was rejected by Interscope Records due to creative differences and the band was unsigned from the label.[1] In 2017, the album was reissued on vinyl through Trent Reznor's Null Corporation label and made available for digital download via the ITunes Store.
