Inflammable Material is the debut album by the Northern Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers released in 1979 by Rough Trade Records. It became the first album on an independent record label to enter the UK Top 20, which led to the wider proliferation of independent labels and later indie rock across the United Kingdom.

At the time, the album was released during the height of The Troubles, most tracks detail the grim reality of life in Northern Ireland in times of polarization and conflict, with songs containing themes of deprivation, sectarian violence and police brutality.
