Ra is the thirteenth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1988.
It is a concept album conceived by Frank Bornemann, critically examining the topic of genetic manipulation and the human desire for immortality.
Ra marked the band's reformation as a duo, since they disbanded in late 1984. Eloy's long-time leader and core member Frank Bornemann chose keyboardist Michael Gerlach as his only stable bandmate, while also co-operating with various guest musicians.
