Dance of the Black Tattoo is a compilation album by British rock band Magnum, released on 8 January 2021.

The album consists of 14 previously released tracks, the majority of them featuring former band members Mark Stanway and Harry James.

Dance of the Black Tattoo was meant to be the "rockier" counterpart to The Valley of Tears – The Ballads, a compilation album from 2017 that focused on Magnum's softer tracks.

While Dance of the Black Tattoo was being put together, Magnum had started recording their 22nd studio album, The Monster Roars, scheduled for release in January 2022.
