All You Need Is Now is the thirteenth studio album by the British rock band Duran Duran. Produced by Mark Ronson, a truncated version of the album was released as a download on 21 December 2010. It is the band's first album not released by a major record label; it appeared on the band's own label, Tapemodern in the UK. A physical package was released on 21 March 2011 in Europe on the Tape Modern label (distributed by Edel), and on 22 March 2011 in the USA and Canada on S-Curve Records (distributed by Universal), coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the band's first release.

The album debuted at No. 119 on Billboard 200 on its initial December 2010 release, with 15,000 copies sold. It reached with No. 29 on its full March 2011 release. The album has sold 76,000 copies in the US as of August 2015. Duran Duran promoted the album through the All You Need Is Now Tour.

All You Need Is Now currently holds a score of 74 out of 100 on Metacritic, certifying generally favourable reviews. Crispin Kott of PopMatters wrote "it's the best album Duran Duran has released since Rio," giving the album 9 out of 10. Rolling Stone gave the album 3.5 out of 5 and stated that "Duran's Mark Ronson-produced 13th disc is a return to roots for a band that's all implants – which is part of the album's charm." Sarah Rodman from The Boston Globe praised the album and said "Simon LeBon’s still sturdy voice soars over coolly funky backdrops and the grooves are some of the group’s most urgent in years." In the issue March 2011, Mojo gave the album 4 out of 5 (means "Brilliant") and stated "Take Roxy Music, add Kraftwerk, and sprinkle on some Chic, and the result is Duran Duran".

Note: "Mediterranea", and live versions of previous band hits "(Reach Up For The) Sunrise" and "Ordinary World" were released in the European only iTunes release EP From Mediterranea with Love on 23 December 2010.

John Taylor mentioned in his experience writing "The Man Who Stole A Leopard" that Owen Pallett had written 2 instrumental tracks based on the album, that eventually proved to be "A Diamond in the Mind" and "Return to Now".
