Force Fed is the debut album by the American band Prong.[2][3] The album was recorded in 1987 and originally released in 1988. Drummer Ted Parsons co-wrote some of the songs for the first time.

The song "Bought and Sold" was not included on the original vinyl release, and is omitted from some CD versions of the album, including the reissue. Instead, these versions include two bonus tracks, the cover of Chrome's "Third from the Sun" and "Mind the Gap", originally taken from Prong's 1989 EP Third from the Sun (also known as 3). Although the EP is no longer available, Prong still regularly performs "Third from the Sun".
