Running Wild is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Girlschool, released on Mercury Records in 1985.

It is the only studio work released as a five-piece group by Girlschool, after original lead guitarist Kelly Johnson had left the band. Vocals duties on the album are shared by Jackie Bodimead and Kim McAuliffe.

Running Wild was released only in America. It was produced by Nick Tauber, previously known for his work with Thin Lizzy, Marillion, and Toyah.

"Do You Love Me?" is a cover of the song from Kiss' album Destroyer (1976).[4]
