The Dividing Line is a studio album by the Los Angeles–based hardcore punk band Youth Brigade, released in 1986 under the moniker The Brigade. This would be the band's only release with bassist Bob Gnarly, who replaced Adam Stern in 1985.

The track "It's A Wonderful Life" was featured during a scene in the 1987 ABC made-for-television film Easy Prey, and had been considered lost media because it was not listed in the film's credits at any point. The song was later identified on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
