They Fear Us is the second and final studio album by the British metalcore band Ithaca, released on 29 July 2022 by Hassle Records. Recorded at The Ranch Production House with producer Lewis Johns, Ithaca aimed to experiment with the sound of metalcore, drawing inspiration and incorporating elements from a diverse range of genres. Its lyrics are centred on themes of "divine feminine power", empowerment, revenge, trauma, and healing. Ithaca utilised aesthetics unconventional for the metal genre in the album's cover artwork, press photos and music videos.

They Fear Us received critical acclaim for its songwriting, progression, and vocalist Djamila Boden Azzouz's performance. The album appeared on several year-end lists and earned Ithaca nominations in the "Best Production" and "Best Single" (for the title track) categories at the Heavy Music Awards 2023. The band toured the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States in support of the album. In November 2023, they performed the album in its entirety at The Dome in London.
