Xtort is industrial rock group KMFDM's tenth album, released in 1996. It was recorded in Chicago, Illinois. It bears the distinction of being the one KMFDM album with the most collaborations, and was made as a harsher, less radio-friendly piece in reaction to Nihil, the album preceding it.

The title "XTORT" in the notation used (most notably the inverted "R") may also be a reference to the russian word "хотят" (cyrillic writing) which translates to "(they) want".
