Pain of Mind is the debut studio album from the Oakland-based band Neurosis. The album documents their early stages as a hardcore punk band in the vein of Discharge, Black Flag, Amebix, and Die Kreuzen. The 2000 reissue contains a special bonus disc that includes live tracks, live radio tracks, and demo tracks.

It was originally released on Alchemy Records in 1987 and later reissued by Alternative Tentacles in 1994 and by Neurot Recordings in 2000.

Notably featured on the front cover of the 1994 vinyl release is Pennsylvanian politician Robert "Budd" Dwyer, moments before he committed suicide during a televised press conference in 1987.
