Money is KMFDM's 1992 album, released on 17 September 1992 on Transglobal. It follows Naïve from 1990 and comes just before Angst in the German industrial band's run of studio records. It sits in the territory where industrial rock, electro-industrial and industrial metal meet.

The record began life as a project called Apart. The plan was for the two core members, Sascha Konietzko and En Esch, to record half an album each and join the results together. In the end only Konietzko's half made the cut, and extra songs were added to fill things out. Reviews were mixed at the time, but the album threw up a number of club hits, which says plenty about where its strengths lie. It later went out of print and returned in a 2006 reissue.
