Strap It On is the debut album by American alternative metal band Helmet. It was released in October 1990 through Amphetamine Reptile Records, and reissued in January 1993 through Interscope Records.

Critics considered the album innovative for its explosive, propulsive, and often staccato riff style which greatly exploited drop D tuning. It has since become a cult classic in the post-hardcore genre and even influential on the metal scene.
