To Live and Die in L.A. is the third studio album by the English new wave band Wang Chung. It was released on 30 September 1985 by Geffen and is their first recording as the duo of lead vocalist Jack Hues and bassist Nick Feldman, following the departure of drummer Darren Costin. The album served as the soundtrack for the 1985 film To Live and Die in L.A., directed by William Friedkin.

The album peaked at No. 85 on the US Billboard 200 but it failed to chart in their home country. The album's title track, "To Live and Die in L.A.", was released as the first single from the album and peaked at No. 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
