We Are Motörhead is the fifteenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead. It was released on 15 May 2000 via Steamhammer, their fifth with the label, equalling their Bronze Records total of full length original album releases.
The album contains a cover of the punk band The Sex Pistols' song "God Save the Queen", for which the band recorded a promo video atop an open-top London AEC Routemaster bus. In the Motörhead documentary The Guts and the Glory, vocalist and bassist Lemmy Kilmister declares:

Joe Petagno, the sleeve artist, commented on the influences behind the cover concept:
