Rocket Ride is the seventh full-length album by German power metal band Edguy, released on 20 January 2006. It features a style that differs from their usual power metal style and is more oriented towards hard rock.

In Europe, the limited first edition was released as a digibook, featuring a photographic history of the group with never-before-seen pictures from their early days and the bonus track: "Land of the Miracle (live in Brazil)".[6]
