"Talk Talk Talk" is an album by The Psychedelic Furs. It was released in 1981 on Columbia Records. It was reissued with bonus tracks in 2002 by Columbia/Legacy.

The 1986 John Hughes film "Pretty in Pink" was inspired by and named for the song of the same name from this album. The song itself was re-recorded for the film by the Furs' 1984-85 lineup—Richard and Tim Butler, John Ashton, Keith Forsey (drums and percussion), plus Mars Williams (saxophone). This version appears on the movie soundtrack.
