Worry Bomb is the fifth studio album by English indie rock band Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, released in 1995. It reached number nine on the UK Albums Chart. It included a limited-edition CD of the live show Doma Sportova...Live at Zagreb, recorded on 20 May 1994.

It was the first Carter USM album to feature new drummer Wez. Formerly of the band International Resque, he replaced the trusty drum machine which was the mainstay of their previous recordings.

As a result of this, the album marked a shift away from the characteristic sound of their previous records, and instead saw the group veer from full-on punk rock (Airplane Food/Airplane Fast Food), to more experimental sounds (the title track), and more downtempo ballads (Ceasefire).
