"Animal Magnetism" is a studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions that was released in 1980.

The cover was created by the design firm Hipgnosis and, as with earlier Scorpions album sleeves, courted controversy.

The RIAA certified 'Animal Magnetism' as Gold on March 8, 1984, and Platinum on October 28, 1991.

The original vinyl release had the lyrics printed on the card inner-bag.
