Terrifyer is the third studio album by American grindcore band Pig Destroyer. It was released in 2004 by Relapse Records.

The album includes a second disc recorded in DVD-Audio and mixed with 5.1 surround sound. The disc contains the band's near-40 minute sludge metal song "Natasha". The Japanese release of Terrifyer includes four bonus tracks and "Natasha" as a second CD instead of a DVD. "Natasha" was reissued on a regular CD as a separate release in 2008. The album booklet features a six-page story of how Natasha became the "Terrifyer". Some copies of Terrifyer were released with a slip of paper on the cover to hide the artwork.

In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked Terrifyer as 88th on their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time". "Gravedancer" appeared on the Tony Hawk's American Wasteland soundtrack as a cut down version, cutting the sample at the end.
