Rock the World is the fourth album by the British pop group Five Star. It was released in 1988 and reached #17 on the UK charts.

Two singles from the album were UK Top 30 hits: "Another Weekend" and "Rock My World". Two further singles from the album, "There's a Brand New World" and "Let Me Be Yours", failed to reach the Top 40. Following its release, the album was awarded a Silver disc for selling more than 60,000 copies in the UK.

The group adopted a new image for the release of the album, mimicking the leather-clad look from Michael Jackson's "Bad", released the previous year.

An expanded version of Rock the World was released by Cherry Pop Records in April 2012.
