Twitch is an album by industrial band Ministry. The album features a mix of new wave, synth pop, industrial and electronica influences. The album also strongly features Al Jourgensen's (left wing) political and personal opinions, as do many other Ministry albums. Released under the Sire label, Jourgensen was granted more artistic contol over the production than under Arista. Twitch was re-released in 1990 with two additional tracks.

'Twitched', an unauthorised 2003 release by Radioactive Records, is a remastered version of Twitch, featuring the track listing that the band is said to have intended it to have before the intervention of the record company. It includes previously unreleased alternative versions of tracks from Twitch.
