Signals is the ninth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).

Signals was the follow-up to the successful Moving Pictures. Stylistically, the album was a continuation of Rush's foray into the technology-oriented 1980s, through increased use of electronic instrumentation such as keyboards, sequencers, electric violin. Another noticeable change was in terms of song length and lyrical compression; Signals was the end of Rush's extended instrumentals. The album had eight songs, the longest of which is 6:24. The album reached #10 on the Billboard album charts and went Gold (500,000 copies sold) in the US in 1982.
