Roadhawks is a 1976 compilation album by Hawkwind covering the years 1970-1975, and it peaked at #45 on the UK album charts. It is the first compilation release from the group, marking the end of the group's tenure with United Artists Records. The music was compiled and mixed by the group's Dave Brock.
The tracks are mostly presented in chronological order. The singles "Silver Machine" and "Urban Guerrilla" were included on an album for the first time, "Urban Guerilla" having been scarcely available due to its withdrawal after three weeks of release. A previously unreleased live version of "You Shouldn't Do That" segued with an unlisted "Seeing It As You Really Are" is included, recorded from the same live shows where Space Ritual was derived, and is now included as a bonus track on CD re-issues of the Space Ritual album.
