Headhunter is the seventh studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus, released in 1983. It achieved Gold status in the United States.[3] The track "Screaming in the Night" was the band's biggest hit to date,[4] and is still played on classic rock radio stations. Headhunter is the only Krokus album to feature Steve Pace on drums, and includes the Bachman–Turner Overdrive cover "Stayed Awake All Night".

UK-based company Rock Candy Records reissued the album on CD in 2014.
