Rock The World is the fourth album by the British pop group Five Star. It was released in 1988 and reached #17 on the UK charts.

The album yielded two UK top 30 hits: "Another Weekend" and "Rock My World" which would become the group's final chart hit. Two further singles from the album, "There's A Brand New World" and "Let Me Be Yours", failed to reached the top 40. Following its release, the album was awarded a Silver disc for selling more than 60,000 copies in the UK.

The styling of the band was interesting for this period, mimicking the leather look from Michael Jackson's Bad, released the previous year. The band were big fans of Michael.
