Return to Fantasy is the eighth studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1975 by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records in the US. It was their first album with John Wetton as the new bassist, and featured singles "Return to Fantasy" and "Prima Donna". The original vinyl release was as a gatefold sleeve, with the lyrics reproduced on the inner liner.

Return to Fantasy "retains the musical experimentation that marked Sweet Freedom and Wonderworld, but has an overall harder-rocking feel that makes it more consistent than either one of those albums", said Donald A. Guarisco in his retrospective AllMusic review. He criticized some of the album's "genre-hopping", and concluded, "In the end, Return to Fantasy lacks the coherence of a top-shelf Uriah Heep classic like Demons and Wizards but remains a strong and likable album that is guaranteed to please the group's fans".

All songs written by Mick Box, David Byron, Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake, except where noted.
