"The Doink Years" is an album released by The Grifters in 1996.

The Grifters, on the verge of releasing their first major label album on Sub Pop 1996, Shangri-La Records re-issued the first two self-released Grifters 7" singles as a 10", with a single per side and featuring a bonus track recorded in the same era. Though the vinyl version only "Disfigurehead & the Kingdom of Jones", but known as "The Doink Years" because the original singles were released under the same "Doink Records" banner as their "A Band Called Bud" debut, Dad. The song "Snake Oil" features the debut of Stan Gallimore on drums, establishing the Grifters as four-piece for the rest of their career.
