Utopia is the second of two self-titled albums by the rock group Utopia. It was released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). It was also their only album for Network Records.

Many of the album's lyrics deal with the reclamation of Liv Tyler by her true father, Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, and the loss the band's leader Todd Rundgren (who had raised Liv up until 1981), felt from her disappearance from his life.

The album was released with a "bonus disc" of five additional songs (listed as Side 3 here). Rarely, if ever, has the album been seen in any format without these five songs.
