"Jesus Built My Hotrod" is a 1991 single by Ministry and was the band's most popular song up to that point. The track features a driving beat and speed metal guitar work backing Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes gonzo vocal stylings.

The song was released November 7, 1991, a little more than half a year before it appeared on "". MuchMusic and MTV championed the accompanying video (which featured, among others, various footage of vintage NASCAR and drag racing events) and it enjoyed repetitive plays on both stations.

The song reached #19 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart and was #8 on ARIA's alternative singles for 1992.

Some of the vocal samples are Brad Dourif from the movie "Wise Blood". Samples of dialog performed by Dennis Hopper in the film "Blue Velvet" can also be heard.
