Flat Tracker is the second studio album by the Seattle hardcore punk band Zeke. It was released on Scooch Pooch Records in 1996 and re-released on Relapse Records in 2008.

Critical reception

Tucson Weekly wrote that "the heavy-duty scorch of Zeke is as dangerous and thrilling a spectacle as when Evel Knievel jumped his super-charged motorcycle over a dozen school buses at the Houston Astrodome back in the '70s." SF Weekly described the album as "packed with scorching 90-second odes to sex, drugs and fast cars/motorcycles."

AllMusic called it "a relentless ride of rock & roll abandon threaded through with punk rock speed and attitude ... perhaps Zeke's finest album."
