Cruelty and the Beast is the third studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth, released on 5 May 1998 by Music for Nations. It is a concept album based on the legend of the Hungarian "blood countess" Elizabeth Báthory and features guest narration by actress Ingrid Pitt in-character as Báthory, a role she first played in the Hammer Horror film Countess Dracula in 1971. The album, while positively received, was noted for its poor production by fans, critics and band members alike. A remixed and remastered edition, titled Cruelty and the Beast – Re-Mistressed, was released in November 2019.
