"Turbo Lover" is a song by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest that the band released as a single from their album Turbo. Both came out in 1986. Unlike the album, which reviewed mixed and often critical responses, most of the reception for this song has been positive, and it has been praised as a Judas Priest classic by music journalists.

The song's lyrics alludes to motorcycle riding, and it broadly features an aggressive, sexual tone, with frontman Rob Halford having described the single as embodying "escapism". Musically, it incorporates a synthesizer-based sound to the band's traditional type of heavy metal music; one music magazine has compared the particular style of "Turbo Lover" to that of Kraftwerk.
