Scandalous is the third album by British soul/dance group Imagination, produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released in November 1983. In the US and Canada, the album was issued under title New Dimension in February 1984.

Scandalous failed to repeat the success of Imagination's previous albums, stalling at No. 25 in the United Kingdom and not producing a top 20 single. It marked the start of a decline in the group's commercial fortunes; subsequent albums were even less successful.
