Friends in Danger is the debut studio album by Australian rock band Magic Dirt. Released in Australia by Au Go Go in September 1996 and by Warner Bros. in the United States later the same year, the record marked a deliberate move toward a darker, noisier sound than the band's earlier EPs. It is the group's only studio album to feature guitarist Dave Thomas. The album originally peaked at number 25 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 1996; following a 25th-anniversary reissue on 9 July 2021 via Emergency Music / Remote Control Records, it re-entered the chart and reached a new peak of number 10—higher than its original 1996 placement.
