Space Invader is the sixth solo album by former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley, released on August 19, 2014 via eOne Music. It is his first album of new studio material since 2009's Anomaly. Frehley self-produced the album, which was recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, California.

On its release, the album reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the only time a solo album from a past or current Kiss member has ever attained a US top 10 album position. The album has sold 50,000 copies in the US as of April 2016.

The cover art for Space Invader was painted by fantasy artist Ken Kelly, notable for painting the cover art for the Kiss albums Destroyer in 1976 and Love Gun in 1977. Of the project, Kelly said "It was very exciting when I was approached with the idea of doing an album cover for Ace. I am very pleased with the results and proud to play a part of Ace's continuing successful career!"

All songs written by Ace Frehley, except where noted.
