Dogs of War is the twelfth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1995. It was the last album with Graham Oliver before he was fired.

Released in September 1995, Dogs of War marked a period of changes for Saxon, both in their sound and lineup. The band began to flirt more intensely with hard rock and had on the album the last appearance of Graham Oliver as a member of the classic formation, as the guitarist was expelled from Saxon for leading the sale of a 1980 live album without permission of the other members, having obtained all the profit from the sale of the bootleg. Even Dogs of War was re-released in 2009 with bonus tracks from this show.
