Welcome to the Cruel World is the debut album by the American musician Ben Harper, released in 1994 through Virgin Records.

After the release, Harper went on to add a permanent backing band, the Innocent Criminals, although they remained unnamed until the Burn to Shine album. The song "I'll Rise" is based on a 1978 Maya Angelou poem "And Still I Rise".
