Gaudi is the tenth album by The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1987. Gaudi refers to Antoni Gaudí,[3] the Catalan Spanish architect, and the opening track references what is probably his best known building, la Sagrada Família.

"Closer to Heaven" and "Money Talks" were used in an episode of the third season of the TV series Miami Vice, with "Paseo de Gracia" (even though in Catalan -and officially- the exact name is Passeig de Gràcia) appearing in an episode in the show's fifth season.

A musical with the same name based on the songs of this album was released in 1993 in Germany with the songs sung in English.

This was the final Alan Parsons Project studio album, as well as vocalist Lenny Zakatek's final contribution to any Parsons album. During the writing of what would have been the followup, Eric Woolfson turned the album into the rock opera eventually released as Freudiana in 1990. Alan Parsons continued as a solo artist in 1993 with Try Anything Once, an album which completes the musical evolution that started with this album. Also, although The Sicilian Defence was released in 2014, it was originally recorded in 1979 and was never intended to be heard by the public.
