"Thunder in the Mountains" was the eighth UK single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in 1981.

The single, which was not included on an album at the time, continued the success of previous hits, and reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Charts, and again was backed by an appearance on Top Of The Pops, plus a memorable video directed by Godley & Creme.

Both sides of this single, and the 12" exclusive b-side 'Voodoo Doll', were eventually included on several CD releases, "Thunder In The Mountains" and "Voodoo Doll" on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling (album), "Street Addict" on the 2002 reissue of Sheep Farming In Barnet/The Blue Meaning and they all also feature on the 2005 compilation . The single also became the most collectible Toyah release to date, with several impressive variations available.
