Fear of God (often abbreviated to F.O.G.) were a Swiss grindcore band who were active in the mid-1980s.

They started in 1986 and broke up in 1988, but briefly reformed in the middle of 2002.

Their first release was a self-titled, 21-track 7-inch EP, released in 1987. It was one of the first grindcore releases, and was very extreme for its time. Their most well-known and acclaimed work is the Pneumatic Slaughter EP.

The band is not to be confused with a number of other bands called Fear Of God. One was a Los Angeles thrash metal band that eventually morphed into F.O.G., which was then based in Baltimore. Another earlier Fear Of God from Baltimore was an old school hardcore punk band which was active in the early 1980s.
