Attahk is the seventh studio album by French rock band Magma, released on 5 March 1978. Its sound marks a noticeable shift from the sound of the band's previous albums, predominantly consisting of funk and jazz fusion music that incorporates elements of rhythm and blues, gospel, and pop music.
Magma had disbanded for a year after the release of their 1976 album Üdü Ẁüdü, before reuniting under the new musical direction, with a more accessible sound. Some songs on this album – such as "Rindë" – as well as some from Live/Hhaï (1975) and Üdü Ẁüdü are incorporated into the compositions of the band's 2009 album, Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré.
