"Stiff Necked Fools" is a song written by Bob Marley, appearing on his posthumous 1983 reggae album, Confrontation.
The title and lyrics reference both the Old Testament and New Testament in the Judeo-Christian bible. The song reuses some of the lyrics from the then unreleased Wailers song Wisdom, which was also recorded as Fools Die by fellow Wailers member Peter Tosh for his 1981 album Wanted Dread And Alive.
