Morbid Tales is the debut album by the Swiss extreme metal band, Celtic Frost. It was released in June 1984. The first American release by Enigma/Metal Blade added two tracks, making Morbid Tales an LP.

Morbid Tales had a major influence on the then-developing death metal and black metal genres.[2][3] It included elements that were adopted by the pioneers of both styles.
