Wing of Fire is the first full-length album by American musician Robert Hazard, released in 1984 by RCA Records. It was released two years after his successful EP Robert Hazard. "Hard Hearted" was the only single from the album, and was released only in Canada. The album's sales and performance suffered due to too much management involvement, and after only selling 89,000 copies of the album, RCA dropped Hazard.
