"Bend Sinister" is a 1986 album by The Fall, released on Beggars Banquet Records. It shares its title with Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Bend Sinister" (1947), and reached number 36 in the UK charts. The US version of the album was titled "The Domesday Pay-Off Triad Plus".

It was the third and last Fall album to be produced by John Leckie. When recording began, they were without a drummer, Karl Burns having quit shortly before sessions began. Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. However, Leckie and Mark E. Smith argued during the recording, Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it". Leckie, for his part, drew the line at Smith's insistence that some tracks be mastered from a standard audio cassette which Smith had been carrying around and listening to on a Walkman. Neither Smith nor Leckie speak highly of the album today. [Q/Mojo Special Edition : Morrissey & The Story Of Manchester, 2006] Nonetheless, the record contained their version of "Mr. Pharmacist", originally by US garage band The Other Half, which gave The Fall their first UK Top 75 entry, and remains a regular feature of the group's live set to this day.
