Attahk is the seventh studio album by Magma, released in 1978.

After Üdü Ẁüdü, Magma disbanded for a year until reuniting under a slightly different direction than before. This album incorporates elements of funk, R&B, gospel, and pop music.

Some songs on this album – such as "Rindë" - as well as some from Live/Hhaï (1975) and Üdü Ẁüdü (1976) – are incorporated in Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré.
