Prove You Wrong is an album by American heavy metal band Prong, released in 1991.[9][10] It is their only album with Troy Gregory on bass guitar.[11] The album includes a cover of "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)", originally by The Stranglers.[12]

Prove You Wrong continued the experimentation with groove metal that began on Prong's previous album Beg to Differ, toning down much of the hardcore punk elements from their 1980s output in favor of a more experimental sound that was influenced by alternative, thrash metal, funk, progressive and industrial music.[1][13]
