OC Confidential is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band the Adolescents, released in July 2005 on Finger Records. It was the band's first studio album since 1988, and followed their reunion in 2001 after a twelve-year breakup. The album features founding band members Tony Reflex, Frank Agnew, and Steve Soto, joined by drummer Derek O'Brien. It was the final Adolescents album to include Agnew, and their only studio album with O'Brien.

The Adolescents had originally been active from 1980–1981 and 1986–1989, disbanding after their third album, Balboa Fun*Zone (1988). The 1980–1981 lineup of singer Tony Reflex, bassist Steve Soto, drummer Casey Royer, and guitarist brothers Rikk and Frank Agnew (who had recorded 1981's Adolescents, also known as The Blue Album), reunited for a performance in December 1989, which was recorded and released eight years later as the live album Return to the Black Hole (Amsterdamned Records, 1997), but otherwise the Adolescents as a band remained inactive for over a decade. The members were involved in separate projects throughout the 1990s: Soto played in the parody group Manic Hispanic, and he, Frank Agnew, and former Adolescents drummer Sandy Hanson started a band called Joyride in 1992. Frank Agnew soon left to focus on his family life and maintained a low-profile musical career in subsequent years, playing on albums by Tender Fury, Rule 62, and Mr. Mirainga. Soto and Hansen continued with Joyride until 1996, then formed the band 22 Jacks. Royer, meanwhile, remained active his other band, D.I., while Reflex fronted Sister Goddamn from 1992–1995. Rikk Agnew occasionally rejoined the gothic rock band Christian Death for live performances, and released two solo albums in the early 1990s.
