Pure Instinct is the thirteenth studio album by German hard rock band Scorpions, released in 1996.

The cover art for this album, as with several earlier Scorpions albums, was replaced with an alternative cover for some releases due to the nudity on the original cover. This is the only Scorpions album on which session musician Curt Cress plays drums. The album has more ballads than non-ballads. The song "You And I" gained some popularity and was often played on Scorpions concerts.
