Brutal Planet is the first song from the album of the same name by heavy metal singer Alice Cooper.{{cite web |title=Brutal Planet - Alice Cooper {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |website=AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/brutal-planet-mw0000057878#trackListing |language=en}}

It is noted for the contrast between Cooper's harsh delivery and the softer tone of female vocalist Natalie Delaney, who features on the chorus. The lesser-known song "Sister Sara", from Cooper's following record Dragontown, uses a similar template.

A "Promotional Sampler" of it with 2 other tracks was released to radio stations prior to the album release - the song was never commercially released as a single. During live performances, it is typically the first song played after the Spend The Night intro.

The song was written by Cooper and Bob Marlette.
