Don't Slander Me is an album by the American musician Roky Erickson, recorded in 1982 or 1983 and released in 1986. It features former Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady as part of Erickson's backing band, as well as former members of the Aliens.
The recording of the album took two months, from May 14 to July 16, 1982. The song "Burn the Flames", recorded on the last day, was featured on the soundtrack for the 1985 horror movie The Return of the Living Dead. "Haunt" would later appear in the 1999 film Boys Don't Cry.
During the few years that the album's tracks went unreleased, a different version of the title track came out as a single in 1984, with a new version of Erickson's "Starry Eyes" on its B-side.
