Misery Index is a metal band formed in 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The band's name comes from the name of Assück's last album. As of 2004, its line-up consists of Jason Netherton (bass, vocals), Sparky Voyles (guitar) and Adam Jarvis (drums).

Misery Index's music is best described as death metal with strong hardcore and grindcore influences. Their vein of music is often said to resemble their fellow Maryland death metal outfit Dying Fetus, as Netherton and Voyles are former members of the band. Misery Index's lyrical subject matter is quite left-wing, often coinciding with anarcho-punk aesthetic and focusing mostly on the ills of modern society.
