G-Force is a 1980 studio album by the namesake Irish-American band led by Irish rock guitarist Gary Moore. It featured three singles and was re-released in 1990 on Castle Communications.[4]

Jeff Clark-Meads in Q Magazine noted that the "album exemplifies Moore's uncompromising, raw, wildman-virtuoso guitar-style".[4]

After cooperating with Phil Lynott on Back on the Streets (1978), guitarist Gary Moore moved to L.A. and formed the group G-Force with vocalist Willy Dee, bassist Tony Newton, and drummer Mark Nauseef. The group did not hold together much longer than it took to finish the first and only album, and on its re-release on CD, only Moore gets credit.
