"Instinct" is an album by American singer Iggy Pop, released in July of 1988. After the heavily pop-oriented, radio-ready "Blah Blah Blah", A&M expected another hit record from Pop; however, he instead recorded the heavy, hard-rocking, "Instinct". A heavy-metal oriented album, "Instinct" featured two members from the original Sex Pistols lineup: Glen Matlock on bass and Steve Jones on guitar.

The album peaked at number 110 on Billboard top 200 albums.

The first single from the album, "Cold Metal", charted at number 37 on Mainstream rock charts and earned Iggy a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal performance in 1989.

Videos were made for "Cold Metal" and "High On You".
