Tago Mago is a 1971 album by the German krautrock band Can, released in August as a double LP by United Artists Records. It was the band's first full album to include vocalist Damo Suzuki after the departure of Malcolm Mooney the year prior, though Suzuki had appeared on most tracks on the 1970 compilation album Soundtracks. Tago Mago was recorded between November 1970 and February 1971 at the Can Studio in the Schloss Nörvenich, a medieval castle near Cologne. It was the band's third album release, including the 1970 compilation album, Soundtracks, though regarded by the band as their second. Their debut album was Monster Movie (1969).
