Teenage Jesus and the Jerks is a compilation album by Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, released in 1979 by Migraine Records.[2] The album, a no wave record, was recorded from 1978 to 1979, and was produced by Robert Quine of Richard Hell and the Voidoids and Woody Payne. It contains songs from their first two singles, "Orphans" and "Baby Doll", and two tracks from the Brian Eno-curated compilation album No New York (1978). The track "Less of Me" would later feature on their debut extended play (EP), Pre Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (1979), and numerous tracks from the album would later appear on further compilation albums from both the band and lead member Lydia Lunch, from 1986 to 2015.

All tracks are written by Lydia Lunch, except "Freud in Flop" by Jim Sclavunos.
