Zipper Catches Skin is an album by Alice Cooper, released in 1982.

It saw the return of Dick Wagner to Alice's band, but is generally not considered to be of the same standard as his previous work with Alice. Zipper Catches Skin carried in the same direction of the preceding Special Forces, with less emphasis on hard riffs, and a stronger focus on comical lyrical content. Zipper Catches Skin and the following album, DaDa, are two albums which Alice reportedly has no recollection of recording, due to excessive alcohol abuse. There was no tour to promote either of these two albums and none of the songs have ever been played live.
