The Locust is the third release by The Locust. It was released on Gold Standard Laboratories in March 1997.

It is significant in The Locust's history for being the first recording of the band relying heavily on keyboards and synthesizers combined with their Power Violence style influenced mainly by Crossed Out and the like. This is the special sound that The Locust has since become known for.

In 2004 it was remastered and re-issued on 3" CD and 7" vinyl including two bonus tracks.
