Wizard is a German power metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek.

The band is often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". The lyrics are similar: which often are about battles, metal, war, steel and such subjects. (The exception is the album Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology.)

In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. They got a new guitar player in Dano Boland, early 2004.

In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released on January 27, 2007, titled Goochan.

On May 18, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a four-year break.
