"Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" is an album by the dub musician Scientist. It was originally released in 1981. A digitally remastered version was released by Greensleeves Records as the twenty-fifth of their Reggae Classics series in 2001.

The album was produced and arranged by Henry "Junjo" Lawes, the rhythms were recorded at Channel One backed by the Roots Radics, and mixed by Scientist at King Tubby's studio. The liner notes claim that it was recorded at midnight on Friday June 13, 1981, but June 13, 1981 was a Saturday.

Several tracks from the album ("Dance of the Vampires", "The Mummy's Shroud", "The Corpse Rises", "Your Teeth In My Neck" and "Plague of Zombies") were featured in the soundtrack to the popular video game "Grand Theft Auto III". They comprised the fictional radio station K-Jah and were the inspiration for many of the DJ's irreverent-sounding comments.
