"Road to Ruin" is the eighth album by the Berkeley, California punk rock band The Mr. T Experience, released in 1998 by Clearview Records. It is a complete cover of the Ramones' 1978 album "Road to Ruin". It is one of several covers of Ramones albums released by punk rock bands in the 1990s. Contemporaries of The Mr. T Experience who also released Ramones cover albums during this period include Screeching Weasel ("Ramones") and The Queers ("Rocket to Russia").

The Mr. T Experience are heavily influenced by the Ramones and had previously released a song about them called "The End of the Ramones" on their 1989 EP "Big Black Bugs Bleed Blue Blood". Later, in 2000, their EP "The Miracle of Shame" would include another Ramones homage entitled "Mr. Ramones."
