House of Pain
- Actor
- Writer

Hip-hop group consisting of two Irish-American rappers, Everlast and hype man Danny Boy, and DJ Lethal. Considered among the most well respected white hip-hop groups.
Everlast was discovered by Ice-T and originally part of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate collective, until forming House of Pain with high school friend Danny Boy and DJ Lethal. On the strength of a hit single featuring a beat by Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs ("Jump Around"), House of Pain broke into a crossover audience with alternative rock fans.
The group broke up in 1996, despite success, and Everlast became a successful solo artist, fusing hip-hop, country, folk, blues and rock, while DJ Lethal joined the nu-metal band Limp Bizkit. House of Pain had sporadic reunions afterward.
