Pig Destroyer is a grindcore band based in Virginia, USA first formed in 1997. Combining old school grindcore with doom, thrash, and hardcore elements, Pig Destroyer have pushed the boundries of the grindcore genre and gained a large following. Their unique sound features an absence of bass guitar on their studio albums.

The band, in their earlier more politically-charged days, had originally wanted to name themselves in protest of law and authority. Believing that "Cop Killer" and "Cop Destroyer" were too obvious in meaning, they eventually settled on "Pig Destroyer" ("pig" being a pejorative American slang term for the police).

Guitarist Scott Hull is also a member of notable grindcore band Agoraphobic Nosebleed and was at one point a member of noisecore icons Anal Cunt.
