Vegan Reich was an American Hardline hardcore crossover thrash band from Laguna Beach, California that was active from 1987 to 1993, and 1999. Fronted by Muslim singer-songwriter Sean Muttaqi, the band is mostly identified with the hardline subculture of the vegan straight edge movement.

Along with Raid, Vegan Reich were one of the most well known bands to identify with hardline. Vegan Reich created the founding statement for the movement, in which they write of their attempted break with the straight edge and hardcore scenes.
The founding statement and subsequent literature pushed a bio-centric and deep ecology view of the world, and much more extreme version of straight edge. The band's view on respecting the world's "natural order" of life gave way to militant anti-abortion and anti-LGBT views. These ideas sparked controversy which followed the band throughout its existence.
