"Azalea Place" is the second solo album by Joey Tempest, the vocalist in the Swedish hard rock band Europe. It was released on April 25, 1997.

"After my first solo album I went out to the States to work with Richard Dodd - who's this English guy living out in Nashville – on the second one, which kept me away from home for a long time," Tempest said in an interview, "But it was something that I needed to do, I had to get it out of my system." cite web |url=http://www.rathole.com/fireworks/18/1.asp |title=RATHOLE.com - Fireworks Magazine: Issue 18 |accessdate=2008-03-31 |format= |work=RATHOLE.com ]
