"What Kind of Fool" is the title of a vocal duet from 1981 (see 1981 in music) by singers Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb. The songwriters for "What Kind of Fool" are Gibb and Albhy Galuten.

Released as the third single from Streisand's 1980 album "Guilty", "What Kind of Fool" was the third consecutive Top 10 single from the album in the United States. "Woman in Love" reached #1 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, and the album's title track (also a duet between the two singers) reached #5, both in late 1980. "What Kind of Fool" spent three weeks at #10 on the Hot 100 in March and April of 1981. It also spent four weeks atop the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart.

The songs on the "Guilty" album were a collaboration between Streisand and all the members of The Bee Gees, including Barry's brothers, Robin and Maurice Gibb. But Barry Gibb played the largest role of the brothers on the album, co-writing and co-producing most of the tracks and appearing on the album cover embracing Streisand. Co-producer Karl Richardson was quoted describing Barry Gibb's contribution to this song: "He did the demo first. Barbra sang to the demo, then he came back and replaced a couple of things after he had heard what she was doing." [Hyatt, Wesley (1999). The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits (Billboard Publications)]
