Behind the Mask is the fifteenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 9 April 1990.

The album was not as successful as its predecessor, Tango in the Night, nor did it spawn any big hit singles, although "Save Me" made both American and Canadian Top 40, while "Love Is Dangerous" and "Skies the Limit" enjoyed some airplay.

Once the tour wrapped up, Fleetwood Mac went into the studio to record two new songs for their Greatest Hits compilation album, released in 1988.

Entertainment Weekly called the album "pretty bland" and likened it to a "an anthology of miscellaneous solo projects.
