Hardware is the fifth studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus. It did not match the success of their previous album, Metal Rendez-vous, going only Gold in Switzerland.[6] However, the album entered the charts in the US, UK and other European countries.

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