The Caitiff Choir is the debut studio album by American metalcore band It Dies Today, released on September 21, 2004, by Trustkill Records. Music videos were released for the tracks "A Threnody for Modern Romance" and "Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads".

On March 21, 2006, the album was re-released with a new artwork, a slightly different mix, and seven bonus tracks. These tracks consist of the re-recorded version of the Forever Scorned EP, as well as cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence." It is also packaged with a DVD that has three music videos and behind-the-scenes material.

In 2008, Trustkill released the album on vinyl as double-LP set featuring both The Caitiff Choir and Forever Scorned. Two versions exist; a yellow and dark gray version and a blue and light gray version.
