Azimut is the fifth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released in 1982 on EMI Music.

Singles released from the album include "Messaggio" (1982), "A cosa pensano" (1982) and "Chan-son Egocentrique" (1983), the latter a duet with Franco Battiato. The track "Messaggio" was co-written by Battiato under one of his pseudonyms, "Albert Kui". The closing track "Laura degli specchi" ("Laura of the Mirrors") is a folk-pop song written by singer-songwriter Eugenio Finardi, whose "Le ragazze di Osaka" Alice would later cover on her 1989 album Il sole nella pioggia.[1]

An alternate version of the track "La mano" appears on the 1987 album Elisir. Re-recorded versions of both "A cosa pensano" and "Chan-son Egocentrique" were included in the 2000 career retrospective Personal Jukebox.
