Kicking Against the Pricks is the third album released by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. First released in 1986, the album is a collection of cover versions. The title refers to a passage from the Bible (Acts 26:14). The album marked the Bad Seeds debut of drummer Thomas Wydler. Were Cave's career to be broken into a three act structure, Kicking Against the Pricks might be thought of as the end of Act One.

In the UK some record shops, failing to appreciate the biblical origins of the album's title, regarded it as obscene and refused to stock it.

A number of the original songs that Cave covered were included on the compilation CDs Original Seeds.
