Evil Empire is the second studio album by the American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, released on April 16, 1996 by Epic Records, only four years after the band's debut album.

The song "Tire Me" won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. The tracks "Bulls on Parade" and "People of the Sun" were also both nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Hard Rock Performance. The album was certified 3x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on May 24, 2000.
