The Cycle Sluts from Hell were an American heavy metal band, active from 1986 to 1992.

The band's music was primarily written by Pete Lisa, with contributions from Daniel Rey, Mark Durado, Christopher Moffett, and Tom Von Doom. They performed around the New York City area in the late 1980s, playing shows with Jane's Addiction at The Cat Club, Danzig at The Old Studio 54, and Joey Ramone at the Ritz and the Palladium.
