''Gaudi'' is the tenth album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1987. ''Gaudi'' refers to Antoni Gaudí, the Spanish architect, and the opening track references what is probably Gaudí's best known building, the ''Sagrada Família''. Project regular David Paton was unable to undertake bass duties on this recording due to a prior touring commitment with Elton John.

The album was recorded at the Grange in Norfolk and Mayfair Studios in London using a pair of Sony 3324 Digital Audio Stationary Head, DASH digital tape recorders and mixed to a digital master.
