Hour of the Wolf is the eighth studio album by Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf.

Andy Chapin replaced original keyboardist Goldy McJohn on the album.

AllMusic gave the album a negative retrospective review, saying the songs are all competent but adhere too closely to Steppenwolf formulas that had already been played out.

"Caroline..," a Mars Bonfire penned song was released as a single but failed to chart.

Another Mars Bonfire song that was an outtake, "Killer Riff," was said to have been a better choice for a single.
