Sleepwalking is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Magnum, released in 1992.

Following the decision to leave Polydor, Sleepwalking was recorded within six months, and is the first self-produced album by Magnum since The Eleventh Hour. Tony Clarkin was much happier acting as producer, following his working relationship with Keith Olsen on Goodnight L.A.. Learning from Olsen, Clarkin had enough experience to produce Magnum's records on his own, this also being the best option to cut production costs for future albums. Clarkin and Bob Catley commented that Sleepwalking represented a return to the classic Magnum style, as opposed to the previous album Goodnight L.A., which was produced with the American market in mind. The album got a mixed reception, with critics writing that the band was moving in the direction of pop rock.

"Only in America" was released as a single, but following poor sales figures, the second single, "You're the One", was cancelled.
