Rife is a live album by Foetus Corruptus released in 1988. It is an official bootleg, initially released by J. G. Thirlwell with no record label credit. This album was released in three formats: a two-LP set on black vinyl, a two-LP picture disc set, and a CD. Rife is Self Immolation #RIFLE 1 and #RIFLEPIC 1 for the picture disc.

After its initial release, Jungle Records was authorized in 1988 to produce a limited edition official release of 2,000 albums split between the three formats. Jungle itself self-bootlegged Rife in 1996, producing 500 additional, unauthorized picture disc albums. In 1998, Jungle licensed Rife to Invisible Records, which began producing additional (and possibly unauthorized) CDs.
