Tweez is the debut album by American indie rock group Slint. Originally released on small independent label Jennifer Hartman Records in 1989 (see 1989 in music), it was subsequently re-issued on Touch and Go Records.

All the album's song titles are taken from the names of the band members' parents, with the exception of "Rhoda", which was named after drummer Britt Walford's dog: "Ron" and "Charlotte" are named for Walford's parents, "Nan Ding" and "Darlene" for guitarist David Pajo's, "Carol" and "Kent" for guitarist and vocalist Brian McMahan's, and "Warren" and "Pat" for those of bassist Ethan Buckler.
