Eve is the fourth studio album by British rock band the Alan Parsons Project, released in September 1979 by Arista Records. The album's focus is on the strength and characteristics of women, and the problems they face in the world of men.[2] It had originally been intended to focus on "great women in history", but evolved into a wider concept.[2] The album name was the same as Eric Woolfson's mother-in-law.[3]

Eve is the Alan Parsons Project's first album with singer Chris Rainbow. The album's opening instrumental "Lucifer" was a major hit in Europe, and "Damned If I Do" reached the US Top 40, peaking at No. 27, and reaching No. 16 in Canada.[4] "Lucifer" also is used as title track for the German political TV show Monitor.
