The Wheel of Time is the seventh studio album by German singer Sandra, released in 2002 by Virgin Records.

The Wheel of Time was produced by Michael Cretu and Jens Gad, and was Sandra's first album with new material in seven years.

In addition to new compositions, it included covers of the 1980s songs "Such a Shame" originally performed by Talk Talk, "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" by Mike and the Mechanics, and "Motivation" by the German duo Inker & Hamilton, as well as a cover of Depeche Mode's "Freelove".

The cover photos were taken by Jim Rakete and picture Sandra without her signature long hair, sporting a short haircut.

The album was preceded by the single "Forever", released in the autumn of 2001, which was a moderate success in Germany.
