Fire Beatz is the third full-length album by multinational jazz-noise collective Desert Island Dicks. The album was released jointly by the Glitch City and Amoebic Productions labels.

Stylistically, the album consists of drum samples commonly used in classic hip-hop, often cut up into unusual time signatures, underpinning layered noise and samples from jazz, environmental noise, field recordings and ambience from the audio tracks of television programmes. Acknowledged influences include Dälek and The Bomb Squad.

The track "Nobody Driving" previously appeared on Glitch City's Glitch Village, Volume 2 compilation, released at Christmas 2008. The track has been considered by some as a bridge from the group's previous work to the Fire Beatz style.
