All for One is the third studio album by English heavy metal band Raven, released in August 1983. This would be their last album outside of a major label, also being said by fans to be their last "golden age" album, containing some of their finest work.[citation needed] It is also notable that Udo Dirkschneider, frontman of German band Accept would appear on a couple of the tracks recorded.

Tracks 11-13, which were added to the CD re-issue, were taken from "Break the Chain", Raven's single released around the same time. They feature Udo Dirkschneider performing vocal parts with John Gallagher.
