Stranger Than Fiction is the eighth full-length studio album and major label debut by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released in 1994.

It was a major breakthrough for Bad Religion, being certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and becoming the band's first album to chart on the Billboard 200, peaking at 87.

As of today, Stranger Than Fiction remains the only Bad Religion record to obtain gold status in the United States and Canada.

[21] AllMusic's Jack Rabid praised this album as a "rare case of selling out in reverse" and songs such as "Leave Mine to Me", "Individual", "Tiny Voices" and "Marked", calling them "all uptempo barnburners, pulverizing in their rapid passion".

Author Dave Thompson, in his book Alternative Rock (2000), wrote that "while Recipe went for poppy, Fiction goes for polish," praising Wallace's production."
