"Music for Chameleons" is a 1982 single by Gary Numan from his album, I, Assassin. It charted at number 19 in the UK Singles Chart. The song received its live debut on The I, Assassin American tour and was performed again in 1984 on the Berserker Tour captured on the White Noise live album.

The song was conceived during Numan's around-the-world flight in 1981, and he got the rhythm from the sound of the engines made over the ocean. The B-side, "Noise Noise", was recorded in 1981, and originally the idea was to release this as a single in its own right. This track features David Van Day and Thereza Bazar from the 1980s band, Dollar, and other collaborations were planned but never materialised.
