I Used to Be an Animal is a studio album by English singer Eric Burdon, released in 1988 by Metronome Records. It was his first studio album in almost four years. It was recorded at Indigo Ranch in Malibu, California.

Following his autobiography, I Used to Be an Animal, but I'm All Right Now (1986), it was his comeback. "Going Back to Memphis", "Run for Your Life", "Don't Give a Damn" and "I Will Be with You Again" were released as singles worldwide.

Burdon mixed several pop and rock-influenced styles like jungle, new wave, disco, alternative rock, hip hop, glam metal, electronica and blues.
