The Pre-Fix for Death is the third studio album by American horrorcore musician Necro. It was released on September 21, 2004 through Psycho+Logical-Records. Production was handled by Necro himself, who also served as executive producer. It features guest appearances from Jamey Jasta, John Tardy, Danny Diablo, Goretex, Ill Bill, Jenny Cassabian, Jenny Krenwinkle, Mr. Hyde, Sabac Red, and Charles Manson (albeit a sample), as well as contributions from Away, Sean Martin, Dan Lilker, Trevor Peres and Sid Wilson.

The instrumental version of the album omitted all the seven skits out of original 25-track album and was released on June 20, 2005 via Psycho+Logical.

Unlike his previous albums, The Pre-Fix for Death sees Necro fusing death metal into several of the album's tracks.[2] It is also the first album to feature live instrumentation by Necro himself.[3][4]

Music videos were filmed for "The Pre-fix for Death", directed by David Brodsky,[5] and "Beautiful Music for You to Die To".[6] Necro's fifth studio album, Death Rap, would be released in 2007 and would be named after the nineteenth track off this album.
