Chim Chim's Badass Revenge is the fifth full-length album from alternative rock band Fishbone. It was the first studio album in three years following the departure of founding members Kendall Jones and Chris Dowd.

After losing two founding members and being dropped from Sony Records, Fishbone returns angrier than ever on this album, taking swipes at record companies, racists, and the general climate of popular music in the 1990s. The album includes some of the band's heaviest moments, such as the hardcore punk romp "Riot," the frantic title track, and the thumping "Psychologically Overcast," the latter of which features guest vocals by up-and-coming hip hop star Busta Rhymes.

The album would sell well in underground circles but would only reach #158 on the Billboard Album Charts. It would be the last Fishbone album for four years, as the band would experience more personnel changes and record company woes.^{[citation needed]}
