Perfect Man is the fourth full-length album released by German heavy metal band Rage in 1988. This album introduces the Refuge years line-up, with the new members Manni Schmidt and Chris Efthimiadis, and the band's mascot, the "Soundchaser", which would feature in most other Rage cover arts. The album was remastered by Noise/Sanctuary in 2002 with slightly altered cover art, and five bonus tracks.{{cite web | url = http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Rage/Perfect_Man/2471 | title = Rage – Perfect Man | accessdate = 11 September 2011 | publisher = Encyclopaedia Metallum}}
