Crystal Logic is the third studio album by the American heavy metal band Manilla Road, released in December 1983 (and reissued in 2002). On this album the band fully embraced heavy metal, leaving behind the space, progressive and hard rock influences which could be found on the two previous albums.

In Metal Forces, Bernard Doe wrote, "Manilla Road suffer the same problem as Brocas Helm in sounding a little dated in style. But let's not take away the band's musicianship which is quite excellent throughout, especially guitarist Mark Shelton's riffing and soloing".[2]
In 2005, Crystal Logic was ranked number 344 in Rock Hard's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[3]
Aaron Lariviere of The A.V. Club named it one of 1983's "excellent but tragically underrated records".[4]
