Citadel is the third studio album by American progressive rock band Starcastle. It is the second of two Starcastle albums to be produced by Roy Thomas Baker. Unlike their first two albums, Citadel features shorter, more concise compositions from the band. This trend would further continue in Starcastle's next album, Real to Reel.

The Los Angeles Times called the album "so delightful, it reignites all one's previous high hopes for the group ... Starcastle uses its source material as more than proof of good listening taste."[3]
