Tool of the Man is Poster Children's third album, released in 1993.

The title of the album came from graffiti written in dust on the band's van during the South by Southwest Festival: "Poster Children, Band of the Year, Tool of the Man". The album art consisted of several optical illusions, including an afterimage of the United States flag on the front cover.
