Hoodoo is the sixteenth studio album by the Swiss hard rock/heavy metal band Krokus. It includes a cover of the Steppenwolf song "Born to be Wild". The album failed to reach the Billboard Top 200 in the U.S., unlike their last album (Hellraiser), but the release was successful overseas. The song "Hoodoo Woman" is featured on the soundtrack of the movie Saw 3D.

The album has received mixed to positive reviews from publications such as About.com and Allmusic.[2][1] Critic Chad Bower of About.com labeled the release as being "packed with big hooks arena ready anthems". Critic Alexey Eremenko praised the album for Allmusic as having the band "rocking as hard as ever", with "dirty, swaggering" hard rock songs.[1]

Hoodoo was certified Platinum in Switzerland.[6]
