Beneath the Remains is the third studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released on April 7, 1989. It was their first release by Roadrunner Records. Continuing in the death/thrash metal vein of its predecessor Schizophrenia (1987), the album had improved production and songwriting compared to the band's previous black metal-influenced works.

The album was the band's breakthrough in extreme metal circles, bringing them to international attention in the scene. Though no singles were released from the album, the band's first music video was made for the track "Inner Self".

Retrospectively, the album has received acclaim as a classic in the thrash metal genre. According to vocalist Max Cavalera, Sepultura had "really found [their] style" on this album. In January 2013, Beneath the Remains was inducted into Decibel magazine's Hall of Fame, becoming the second Sepultura album to do so, the first being Roots. This induction would make Sepultura the first band to have more than one of their albums being featured in the Decibel Hall of Fame.
