Machine Age Voodoo is the third studio album by Australian industrial band SPK, released on November 30, 1984 by WEA. It was first released outside the United States until 1985 when it was released by Elektra Records. Produced by Graeme Revell, the album is a radical departure from the band's previous material, leaning more towards synthpop and dance-rock, rather than industrial music. It is the band's first album to feature Sinan Leong as the lead singer.

Two singles from Machine Age Voodoo were released, "Metal Dance" and "Junk Funk", of which the latter was later renamed to "Machine Age Voodoo" on the US release of the album.
