Ill Repute is an American hardcore punk band from Oxnard, California, United States, formed in 1981.

"Clean Cut American Kid" would be played on radio stations around the world and is now featured on the Netflix streaming show "Stranger Things".

Ill Repute briefly reformed again (minus founding guitarist Tony Cortez) to tour Hawaii in 2006 again with 8mm Overdose.

Before a standing-room-only crowd in the City Council Chambers of Port Hueneme, Ill Repute was presented a Proclamation from then-Mayor Jonathan Sharkey on April 7, 2014, for "their revolutionary musical talent".

The documentary DVD/book, Clean Cut American Kids - the Story of Ill Repute, was also released in 2014 by True Underground Network Publishing in association with Firehook Entertainment and Canadian Bacon Films.
