Time to Turn is the tenth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1982.
It is the second part of a double concept album conceived by Frank Bornemann, with the first part being Planets. It tells the sci-fi story of Ion, an inhabitant of the planet Salta, who tries to fight negative forces in an age of chaos. Salta and Ion represent the Earth and humankind, who must fight to improve its future.
Time to Turn was issued in the United Kingdom with alternative artwork designed by Rodney Matthews and a modified track list, as "Magic Mirrors" was replaced by a remixed version of "Illuminations", originally part of the 1980 album Colours.
It is also the first Eloy album since Power and the Passion to feature drummer Fritz Randow, who returned to replace Jim McGillivray.
