Hot Space is an album by English rock band Queen, released in 1982. Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work, Queen employed many elements of disco and dance music on Hot Space, being partially influenced by the success of their 1980 hit "Another One Bites the Dust." This made the album less popular with fans that preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band, though Hot Space did fit in with the Queen tradition of incorporating many disparate influences into their music.

Queen's decision to record a funk album germinated with the massive U.S. success of "Another One Bites the Dust". In hindsight, while it seemed a carefully calculated move to capitalise on their incidental interest in "black music", it inevitably proved to be a major, if temporary, blow to their reputation. While the album's second single "Body Language" did peak at #11 on the U.S. charts, the accompanying video was banned by MTV for its erotic overtones (particularly those that hinted at Freddie Mercury's sexuality) which may have resulted in a backlash from the more conservative sections of the band's fan base. The entire project was largely ignored by both the rock and dance scenes. It did not help that it was essentially a disco album, released in 1982, long after disco had fallen from favour.
