Heading for Tomorrow is the first studio album released by German metal band Gamma Ray on 26 February 1990 by Noise Records.

In 1990, a video album, Heading for the East, was released that was recorded during the album tour. In 2002, Heading for Tomorrow was re-released with a different cover as part of the Ultimate Collection box-set. This re-released version of the album has also been released separately from the box-set.
