QR is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot, released on October 21, 1988. The album featured a major line-up change. Singer and founding member Kevin DuBrow had been fired before the recording sessions began, and replaced by Rough Cutt vocalist Paul Shortino.

This left the album with the distinction of being the only Quiet Riot release without DuBrow on vocals, or any other original members.
