Metal Jukebox is a cover album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1999. It is described as their ninth studio album.

When producing Metal Jukebox, Helloween changed their traditional power metal style and shifted to a more pop metal style of music that remained only for the production of the album. Its influence in the European metal cannot be overstated. The cover songs include Hocus Pocus, a cover of the Netherlands' progressive band Focus, which includes heavily distorted guitars and very heavy drumming; aspects that the original piece does not contain and are common in many of Helloween's compositions. The album also includes Jethro Tull, Cream, Beatles, David Bowie and ABBA covers, as well as covers of songs by other famous bands.

"Lay All Your Love on Me" was released as a single in Japan.
