The Predator es el tercer álbum en solitario del rapero estadounidense Ice Cube. Lanzado en el mes de los Disturbios de Los Ángeles en 1992, muchas canciones incluyen comentarios sobre tensiones raciales. En parte, el título del álbum es en referencia a la película Predator 2, y el álbum en sí incluye samples de la película.[1]​ A pesar de no ser su álbum más exitoso críticamente, The Predator es el más exitoso comercialmente, alcanzando el disco de doble platino en los Estados Unidos.
