Mortal Kombat: Original Motion Picture Score is the instrumental score album released to accompany the Mortal Kombat film. The music was composed by George S. Clinton with additional guitar work provided by Buckethead and drums by Brain.

Clinton based his main themes on Japanese taiko drums, emphasizing the film's mystical atmosphere and Asian-influenced style. He used Shakuhachi flute and didgeridoos. Clinton created the sound effect that suggests the presence of Shang Tsung in the film with a Tuvan throat singer which along with other segments of this score were used extensively in other film teasers and trailers.[1] The use of uncommon instruments gave the film a more exotic musical landscape than traditional orchestral scores.

The album contains two tracks not used in the film named "Farewell" and "Kids"; although the latter can be heard at the end of the sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
