Frenching the Bully is the debut album by Seattle punk rock band The Gits. It was originally released as a 12-track album on C/Z Records in 1992 but was later reissued in 2003 with bonus tracks and different cover art on the Broken Rekids label. "A stunning document of the talent... [of] singer Mia Zapata...She sings with such conviction, ferocity, and expressiveness that the lyrics become irrelevant. The band becomes irrelevant." –River Cities' Reader^[2]

It was selected by Russ Rankin as a top 10 favorite album.^[3]
