Teenage Snuff Film is the debut solo studio album by Rowland S. Howard, released in 1999. The album was produced by Lindsay Gravina and features Howard's former The Birthday Party bandmate Mick Harvey on drums, organ and guitar, with Brian Hooper of The Beasts of Bourbon on bass guitar. It contains eight original songs, and two cover versions: "White Wedding" by Billy Idol, and "She Cried" (previously performed by The Shangri-Las, Johnny Thunders, and others).

Teenage Snuff Film was produced, mixed and mastered at Birdland Studios in Prahran and Sing Sing Recording Studios in Cremorne. Although not a commercial success upon release, the album would go on to attract a cult following.[2]

The album was reissued as a limited edition double LP in October 2011, with minor track listing changes.[3] Remastered versions of both Howard's solo albums were released by Mute Records in Europe, Fat Possum in America and Bloodlines in Australia on 27 March 2020.[4]
