"Lightning Flash" is the twelfth album by British pop group Brotherhood of Man. The album was released on EMI Records in June 1983 and was their only album with the label.This album was the first (and only) to feature new member Barry Upton who had replaced Lee Sheriden a year earlier and was their last work with long-time manager/producer and co-writer Tony Hiller.

The album contained the singles "Lightning Flash", "Cry Baby Cry" and "When the Kissing Stops". [ [http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=10024 Chartstats.com - Chart information] ] The front cover of the album only has the lettering "B H o M" as an indication of a title or artist, the back cover states the group's name, while only the record itself gives the title as "Lightning Flash" on the label. This is the official title given to the album according to release information. Track "Is it Love" is erroneously titled "It is Love" on the back sleeve, but correct title is given on the record's label.

Despite being highly regarded by fans, the album failed to chart and was to be their final official release. The group did go on to produce three more albums which were released independently by themselves ("The Butterfly Children" in 1992, "Greenhouse" in 1997 and "The Seventies Story" in 2002).
