Warrior is the debut and only full-length studio album by American rock band Scandal, credited on the cover as "Scandal featuring Patty Smyth". It was released on August 21, 1984, by Columbia Records.

The album peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart, driven by the success of its lead single, "The Warrior", which became the band's biggest hit.

In 2014, the album was reissued in an expanded and remastered edition by Rock Candy Records. This edition included five bonus tracks from Scandal's 1982 self-titled debut EP, Scandal.
