Private Audition is the sixth studio album, released by the hard rock band Heart, released in 1982. The album was on the U.S. Billboard 200 for fourteen weeks, peaking at number twenty-five.[4] It contained the hit single "This Man Is Mine". It is the last Heart album to feature longtime members Mike DeRosier and Steve Fossen, who left after the recording of the album and were replaced by Denny Carmassi and Mark Andes. The album has sold around 400,000 copies in the United States.

In 2009, Private Audition was re-released on the Beat Goes On label as a double CD with their subsequent album Passionworks. Prior to this, Private Audition had been out of print for a number of years and was the most difficult of Heart's CDs to obtain.
