Turn Back is the third studio album by the American rock group Toto. It was a commercial disappointment at the time, failing to produce any charting singles and selling approximately 900,000 copies worldwide.

The group nearly lost their recording contract with Columbia Records but rebounded with 1982's Toto IV.
