The Seduction is the first full-length LP by Manchester post-punk group Ludus. It was originally released as a double EP on 12" vinyl by New Hormones in 1982.

The album, considered my many to be the band's masterpiece, contains some of their most structured and melodic songs (Mirror Mirror, See The Keyhole, The Escape Artist), as well as some of their most adventurous work (such as the 10 minutes instrumental The Dynasty). In keeping with band's love of experimentation, its key track, Herstory, practically consists of variations of four different songs (including Inheritance and previously released Mutilate and Mother's Hour), effortlessly sliding one into the other. The album also includes an extended, 6 minutes long version of the previous single, My Cherry Is In Sherry.
