Faust is the 1971 debut album by German krautrock group Faust. The original LP record was on clear vinyl in a clear cover with an X-ray of a human fist silkscreened on the outer sleeve. It also included a transparent plastic sheet with the lyrics and credits printed in red. "Faust" is German for "fist".

Faust was never a big seller but has achieved much critical acclaim from rock critics.
