"Shock" is a song by American heavy metal band Fear Factory. It was the lead single from their 1998 album Obsolete and the first track on the album. Its music was composed by guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Raymond Herrera. The lyrics were written by vocalist Burton C. Bell. The introduction of a concept album, "Shock" introduces its protagonist, a political prisoner known only as Edgecrusher, who declares his personal mission to destroy the totalitarian society in which he lives.

This is one of the few Fear Factory songs which has an odd time signature in its pre-chorus (6/8 + 6/8 + 4/8).

The song was featured in the TV series Angel from season 2 episode 10 "Reunion".
