Stage Struck is the eleventh album and the third live album by Irish singer/guitarist Rory Gallagher. Released in 1980, it documents his world tour in support of his 1979 album Top Priority. Accordingly, it features many songs from that album, but it also includes songs from his previous albums. The album sees Gallagher taking a faster-paced, more hard rock sound than on his previous blues-dominated live albums. Originally released with eight tracks, Stage Struck was augmented with two bonus tracks ("Bad Penny" and "Keychain") when reissued in 1999, four years after Gallagher's death, by his younger brother and manager, Dónal Gallagher.

Stage Struck es el tercer álbum en vivo del guitarrista irlandés de blues rock Rory Gallagher, publicado en 1980 por Chrysalis Records. A diferencia de sus primeros registros en vivo, contó con más elementos del hard rock y algunos toques del folk, pero sin perder del todo el blues rock. Por ello, algunos críticos han considerado su sonido como una mezcla entre los registros de Bad Company y Foghat.[2]
