Flick of the Switch is an album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, recorded shortly after their European Tour at the beginning in 1983. The album was originally released in the United States on August 15, 1983. The album was self-produced by AC/DC and reached #4 in UK and #15 in the US. Though considered a disappointment when released, the album is today praised by many die-hard fans for its rawness and energy.

After problems with other members of the band, drummer Phil Rudd departed midway through the recording sessions, although he had completed his drum parts. He was eventually replaced by ex-Tytan drummer Simon Wright. Wright appeared in the videos for three of the singles on the album, "Flick of the Switch" and "Nervous Shakedown" and "Guns For Hire". [2] Rudd, meanwhile, eventually returned to the band in 1994.

The album was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
