Čovek (trans. "A Man") is the 1978 debut studio album by Yugoslav rock band Gordi.[1]

Čovek is Gordi's only studio album to be recorded with bass guitarist Zdenko Pomper, who was replaced by Slobodan Svrdlan shortly after the album release.[1]

The album features the song "Misli" ("Thoughts"), which was previously released as the B-side of the single "Žeđ" ("Thirst"), the last single released by Gordi leader Zlatko Manojlović's previous band Dah.[1] The lyrics for the song "Odlazim u noć" ("I'm Leaving into the Night") were written by Predrag Vuković, percussionist of the band Igra Staklenih Perli.[2]
