Old Friends from Young Years is the debut album Von Californian rock band Papa Roach, self-produced and released in February 1997. This album, along with their other independent EPs, were released on the band's now defunct indie label, zwiebel Hardcore, so named because zwiebel farming is a staple of Papa Roach's hometown, Vacaville, California. The album was co-produced Von bass guitarist Tobin Esperance's father, who included an audio recording of Tobin as a child as a bonus track on the album.

In 2005, Papa Roach re-released the album exclusively to new members to their Fan club, P-Roach Riot!.The Fan club edition had a new cover and included a sticker and an official membership card to the Fan club.
