Premonition is the second album by American rock band Survivor, released in October 1981 in the United States and February 1982 elsewhere.[3][4] It was the first album to use the Survivor script logo.

The album, along with many other Survivor albums, was briefly taken out of print in 2009, but was remastered and reissued the following year and distributed by Rock Candy Records. The album includes the singles "Poor Man's Son" (#33, US Chart), one of the songs that would be part of their live set list, and "Summer Nights" (#62, US Chart). A song named Missing Persons was recorded for the album but left out from the final cut.
