"Prince Charming" is a New Wave album by Adam & the Ants, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music). Unlike "Kings of the Wild Frontier", Prince Charming showed the Ants moving away from their earlier Burundi drum style of Kings of the Wild Frontier. It is also noticeable that this album is the first without Kevin Mooney, the bassist from "Kings of the Wild Frontier". The album spawned three hits; "Stand and Deliver", "Prince Charming" , and "Ant Rap". The album was remastered and reissued in 2004 with several demo tracks.

The song "Prince Charming" has musical similarities to Rolf Harris' 1965 song "War Canoe".
