Treddin' on Thin Ice is the debut album by UK grime artist Wiley released on XL Recordings. It was released on 26 April 2004.

The album is seen as a critical success in grime music with an enduring and influential forward facing sound. However, commercially the album did not do as well, with one single ("Wot Do U Call It", a song addressing the debate over the categorization of grime) making the top 40 in the UK music charts.
