"Talk Talk" is a song by the English band Talk Talk released by EMI on 5 April 1982. The second single from their debut album, The Party's Over (1982), it peaked at no. 52 in the United Kingdom upon initial release. A re-recorded and re-produced 7-inch version of the song was released later that year on 25 October 1982, peaking at no. 23 in the UK and no. 75 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (also entering the Top 40 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock). The single also reached no. 1 in South Africa in 1983.

The song was originally recorded by Talk Talk singer Mark Hollis's previous band, The Reaction, as "Talk Talk Talk Talk", on the Beggars Banquet punk compilation Streets.
