Non Serviam is the second full-length album by Greek extreme metal band Rotting Christ, released in 1994.

In Latin, Non serviam translates to "I will not serve", and Biblically refers to Satan's refusal to serve God.[3] It also has some different connotations in secular literary works.

Frontman Sakis Tolis has the words tattooed on his stomach.[4]

After 12 years of discontinued print, the album was re-released by The End Records in 2006.

Contrary to popular belief that drum programming was used on this album, the drums were actually recorded live using an electronic drum kit.[5]
