Virgin Killer is a studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions that was released in 1977.

It had a controversial cover showing a naked prepubescent girl, which was deemed to be child porniography in the United States.[1] Later pressings of the album had an alternate cover showing a group shot of the band. Band member Klaus Meine acknowledged that he was shocked when he saw the original album cover, but was pressed by the record company to do something controversial [citation needed].
