Screeching Weasel és un grup de punk rock estatunidenc originari de Prospect Heights. El grup el van formar l'any 1986 el cantant Ben Weasel i el guitarrista John Jughead, i des de llavors ha comptat amb diverses formacions. Ben Weasel n'és l'únic membre permanent, tot i que Jughead va romandre-hi fins al 2009.
A més de Ramones, Ben Weasel considera bandes com Black Flag, DOA, The Dickies i Zero Boys com a referències de Screeching Weasel.
Molts grups de punk rock i pop punk posteriors d'èxit citen a Screeching Weasel com a influència. Blink-182 va versionar-ne la cançó «The Girl Next Door» a l'àlbum Buddha, i el guitarrista Tom Delonge va referir-s'hi com una de les seves majors influències.
