Birds of Prey is the fifth studio album by English duo Godley & Creme, released in April 1983 by Polydor Records. It was recorded at Lymehouse Studios in Leatherhead, Surrey and engineered and re-mixed at Nigel Gray's Surrey Sound Studios.[1]

Despite the success of their previous album Ismism, Birds of Prey failed to chart. Two singles were released from the album: "Save a Mountain for Me" and "Samson", both of which also failed to chart.
