Intermission is a live album released by Dio in 1986 on the label Vertigo Records in Europe and Warner Bros. Records in North America. The live songs were recorded with Vivian Campbell during the first leg of the Sacred Heart tour. Craig Goldy replaced Campbell, and the band wanted something to represent the new lineup, so they recorded "Time to Burn" with him, and it was added to the album. The band resumed the Sacred Heart tour in support of this album.

The band had featured on many radio-broadcasts but fans who had been hoping for a double-live album were somewhat disappointed with this release, especially as the guitar-parts of the now-departed Campbell seem low in the mix. The original UK release came with a postcard-pack.
