Anicca is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. The first track was recorded at Tin Pan Alley Studios in London, England.[4][5] The title refers to the Buddhist concept of impermanence.

The album Protean World also features photos of an overgrown, ruined building, and was recorded at the same time as the last two tracks of Anicca.
