- Genre: Black Metal
- Release Date: 1986

Obsessed by Cruelty is the debut album by speed metal band Sodom.
Recorded and released in 1986, Obsessed by Cruelty was influential - though not as much as Bathory's debut - to both the emerging black and death metal scene, in Norway and the USA respectively.
As an anecdote, Obsessed by Cruelty was recorded twice, and both versions of the album were released in different territories due to an error by the record company (Metal Blade).
The first session was recorded in Berlin by Horst Müller, with Destructor as the guitarist. Metal Blade deemed the recording quality to be too poor for the album to be released, so every single track was recorded again at Studio Hilpoltstein with Onkel Tom Angelripper handling himself most of the recording duties.
The liner notes dedicate this album to Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead.
