T. Rex is an eponymous album by British rock band T. Rex, released in 1970. It was the first record under their abbreviated band name, following four albums as 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'.

The album contains electric reworkings of old Tyrannosaurus Rex material, and some material originally recorded prior even to John's Children ("The Wizard", not to be confused with the Paul Hardcastle and Black Sabbath songs of the same name). A significant portion of the songs, however, were new material. It was the album that broke the band and set them in the direction of consistent success over the next three years.
