Victims of the Fury is the seventh studio album by the English guitarist and songwriter Robin Trower, released in 1980. This was the last album to feature the classic Robin Trower, James Dewar and Bill Lordan lineup. It also saw Trower writing again with his former Procol Harum colleague, lyricist Keith Reid nine years after they had last collaborated.

The album was issued on CD in 1989. It was reissued in 1997 as a 2-on-1 CD along with the previous 1978 album Caravan to Midnight.[2] Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick was the album's sound engineer. Victims of the Fury reached #34 on the Billboard 200.[3]
