Grooverider Presents: The Prototype Years is a drum and bass compilation album by DJ Grooverider. It was released in 1997 on his label, Prototype Recordings.

A second CD containing a DJ mix of every track on the first CD, including four other tracks released on Prototype Recordings, was included with the CD version of the album. "Subway" by Ed Rush appears on the compilation vinyl disc, but not on the compilation CD, for unknown reasons. "Subway" is later included in the DJ mix CD.
