"Thrust" is a jazz fusion album by Herbie Hancock, released in 1974 on Columbia Records. It served as a follow up to Hancock's album, "Head Hunters" (1973), and achieved similar commercial success, as the album reached as high as number 13 on the "Billboard" Hot 200 listing. The lineup for "Thrust" is the same as on "Head Hunters", except Mike Clark replaced Harvey Mason on drums.

The composition "Butterfly" would subsequently be performed on the live album, "Flood", and two more studio releases: "Direct Step" and "Dis Is Da Drum".
