Independent is the third studio album by American thrash metal band Sacred Reich, released in 1993 via Metal Blade and Hollywood Records. The album is considered to be a slight departure from the band's early thrash metal style heard on their previous releases, with the album featuring a groove metal sound.[2] Independent was Sacred Reich's first full-length album with Dave McClain on drums.

The title track can be heard in the 1993 college football film The Program.
