The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks is an album by UK anarcho-punk band Flux Of Pink Indians. It was released as a double album on the band's own Spiderleg Records in 1984 as the follow up to their debut, Strive to Survive Causing the Least Suffering Possible.

The album was banned by retailers HMV, and copies were seized, along with other records by Crass and The Dead Kennedys, by Greater Manchester Police from Eastern Bloc record shop, who were charged with displaying "Obscene Articles For Publication For Gain". The album's lyrical content, ironically, concerned violence between men and women, based on the experiences of a band member who had been sexually assaulted. The title was a Dada-style ploy to get attention for this social message. The band, its two record labels and its publishing company were also charged under the Obscene Publications Act, but the charges were dropped.
