96 Tears is the debut album by the garage rock band Question Mark & the Mysterians, released in 1966. A re-recorded version was eventually released on the label, Collectables, in 1997.

96 Tears peaked at #66 on Billboard's Pop Albums charts.[2] The rumor that the album charted at #96 is an urban legend.

First pressings had a misprinted Side 2 label listing the last track as "Tears" instead of "96 Tears".[3]
