Heaven Can Wait was an EP released by German power metal band Gamma Ray in 1990 in music, following the release of their debut album Heading for Tomorrow.

It is notable as Dirk Schlächter makes his first appearance as a full member of the band. He would go on to appear on every Gamma Ray record to date. Also making his first appearance with the band was Uli Kusch, who would later go on to form Masterplan.

The Japanese version only has four tracks, leaving off "Who Do You Think You Are?". It also has a blue background rather than a black background on the cover, as well as a full-color figure instead of the yellow shadow pictured. "Sail On", "Mr. Outlaw", and "Lonesome Stranger" are bonus tracks on the 2003 remaster of "Heading for Tomorrow", while "Who Do You Think You Are?" is a bonus track on the 2003 remaster of "Sigh No More".
