Animalisms is the third British album by British group the Animals. It has a track listing generally similar to the American version, Animalization, that was released two months later.^[2]

A 1996 British CD reissue of the album combined Animalisms, Animalization, and a 1963 independent EP cut as The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, all under a different cover.
