Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious is the third album by the British extreme metal band Carcass, released in 1991 through Earache Records. This album is the first to feature guitarist Michael Amott. Many of the tracks describe economical ways to dispose of dead bodies.
Ken Owen and Jeff Walker said during The Pathologist's Report Part III: Mass Infection that they rejected the descriptions of Carcass' music on this album being grindcore. While Owen acknowledges its death metal characteristics, both he and Walker express that they are more inclined towards calling their music on this album "progressive".

Later editions contain the album on a CD and the documentary on a separate DVD. Also included in the reissue is a set of four artcards. The album is presented in a 12-panel digipak with full lyrics and artwork.
