Hot for the Orient is the fifth and final studio album from Australian glam rock band Skyhooks.

This was the only album the band recorded without its second, and best-known, vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan, who had been replaced with Tony Williams.

Skyhooks disbanded soon after but reformed in 1983 with the line-up which had recorded its first three albums, though it would not release new studio material until 1990.

A live performance at the Bombay Rock was simulcast on television show Nightmoves and radio station 3RRR to debut the album.
