Angst is a studio album by the German industrial band KMFDM, released in October 1993 on Wax Trax! Records. It combines industrial, electronic, rock and industrial metal, a blend that suits a band who had by then been making records for the best part of a decade.

It arrived in the band's discography between Money in 1992 and Nihil in 1995, and it is counted as their seventh studio album, following their debut Opium in 1984. For anyone tracing how KMFDM moved from their earlier electronic leanings toward heavier, guitar-driven territory, Angst is a useful record to hear in sequence with its neighbours.
