"Tokyo Tapes" is a live album by German heavy metal band Scorpions, released in Europe in 1978 and the US in 1979. It was recorded live at Sun Plaza Hall (Tokyo, Japan) on April 24 & 27, 1978, during the band's Japanese tour in 1978.

On the 2002 EMI re-mastered CD "Polar Nights" was disappointingly omitted so as to fit a single CD, although it was included on the re-mastered version of the album "Taken by Force". The earlier 2CD US release, however, is the original album in its entirety.

The songs "Hell-Cat", "Catch Your Train" and the Japanese national anthem was also performed during these shows but were not included in the official album.
