Filth Pig is an album by the industrial band Ministry. The album was released on January 30, 1996 on the Warner Brothers Music label.
Some Ministry fans have criticized this album's perceived movement away from the band's "industrial roots", while others have found the album to be an interesting new direction for the band to be taking.
The album title was allegedly derived from a statement made in the British Houses of Parliament, where bandleader Jourgensen was described as a "filthy pig" by one of the MPs.
