Propaganda is an album by English post-punk band the Sound. It was recorded in 1979, before they recorded their debut album Jeopardy, and comprises the earliest material that they recorded. It was not released until April 1999 by record label Renascent, more than 10 years after the band broke up. It was viewed by the band as their true first album.

Re-recorded versions of three of the tracks appeared on Jeopardy: "Missiles", "Night Versus Day" and "Words Fail Me".

In 2015 the album was reissued as part of a five-disc box set that also included the albums Shock of Daylight, Heads and Hearts, In The Hothouse (Live) and Thunder Up.
