Voodoo is the eighth studio album by King Diamond, the Danish heavy metal band. It came out in February 1998 on Metal Blade Records, following The Graveyard in 1996 and ahead of House of God in 2000. Kristian Wåhlin drew the cover.

It marks a changing of the guard in the band's ranks. John Luke Hébert makes his first appearance on drums, while guitarist Herb Simonsen and bassist Chris Estes play on their final King Diamond record. That makes it a useful marker for anyone tracing how the group's line-up shifted during the late 1990s. Andy LaRocque remastered the album for a re-release in 2009, which is the easiest way to hear it today.
