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.^[1]

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.
