"Interim" is an album by British rock band The Fall, compiled from live and studio material and released in 2004. It features the first officially released versions of "Clasp Hands", "Blindness" and "What About Us?" — all of which were later included on the band's next studio album "Fall Heads Roll" (2005) — as well as the instrumental "I'm Ronnie the Oney". The remaining tracks are all new versions of previously released songs, mostly from studio rehearsal recordings.

"Interim" was originally to be titled "Cocked", possibly a reference to Unofficial Fall Website editor Stefan Cooke.
