Goat is the second full length album by The Jesus Lizard, released in 1991. It is their most acclaimed album, with many critics calling it one of the best albums of the 90's. The album was engineered by fellow Chicagoan Steve Albini.

Its cover art, by Canadian-born photographer James Crump (who at the time was living in the basement of producer Steve Albini's home), first glance resembles a flame, but is actually a topless woman with a close-up image of nails projected onto her body. The rear of the album, and several panels of the enclosed CD booklet include similar pictures of the same naked woman, with different images projected onto her body.
