"Fun in Space" is the debut album by the English musician Roger Taylor. Released in May 1981 in the UK and US, the album was recorded in between legs of Queen's tours for "The Game" and "Flash Gordon" albums. Taylor wrote, produced, sang and performed all of the songs himself. While the album did fairly in the UK, the album tanked upon its US release.

The albums credits state "pps. 157 synthesisers", a joke referring to Queen's usual statement of "And nobody played synthesiser"

"Future Management" was issued as a single in Europe while "Let's Get Crazy" was released in the U.S.

The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in 1996.
