"Loving the Alien" is a song by the English singer David Bowie. It was the opening track to his sixteenth studio album Tonight (1984). One of two tracks on the album written solely by Bowie, an edited version of the song was released as a single in May 1985, nine months after the release of lead single "Blue Jean" and eight months after the album's release. "Loving the Alien" peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. "Loving the Alien" inspired the title of Christopher Sandford's 1997 biography of Bowie and the 2018 Bowie box set release, Loving the Alien (1983–1988).
