Canterbury is the third studio album by British heavy metal band Diamond Head.

The success of this album was initially stalled by the fact that the first 20,000 copies suffered vinyl-pressing problems, causing the LP to jump.

In addition, this album was an attempt by the band to show that they could write more than just heavy metal songs.

However, many fans wanted a heavier follow up to the previous record, Borrowed Time and did not like the progressive direction.

The album was made widely available in 2009, along with Borrowed Time, as part of the boxset The MCA Years.
