For Screening Purposes Only is the debut album by UK dance-punk trio Test Icicles. Released in 2005, the album was critically praised for being unique and compelling in an increasingly homogenous indie landscape. Following the group's split in February 2006, the album remains Test Icicles' only LP.

The name of the album is derived from the 1999 film Thicker Than Water, as the phrase "For Screening Purposes Only" appears on screen whenever any violence occurs in the film. Band member Rory Aggwelt (Raary Decihells) has also stated that the first song on the album, "Your Biggest Mistake", is about the film[1].
