Pacifier (re-released as The Pacifier Album) is the fifth studio album released by New Zealand rock band Shihad. At the time of the release, they were performing under the name Pacifier due to controversy surrounding the similarity of the word Shihad to jihad. However, it still failed to break the band into the United States. "Everything" was used in the closing credits of the 2002 film Swimfan.
The band, and lead singer Jon Toogood especially, have since expressed displeasure with the album, calling it "overproduced" and "bullshit – that would've been the wrong album to be big on." In 2023, bassist Karl Kippenberger said, "I love those songs. I love them being part of our history...It's OK to fall in and out of love with your own stuff, you know?"
