Face to Face is the sixth album released by R&B singer Evelyn "Champagne" King on the RCA label in 1983. It was produced by André Cymone, Leon Sylvers III, Foster Sylvers, and Joey Gallo.

Straying from the post-disco sound prominent in her most commercially successful releases I'm in Love and Get Loose she embarked on a "punk funk" sound, moving towards the musical territory of Prince and the alike. In charge of the album production and musical direction was Leon Sylvers III, SOLAR Records producer known for his work for Shalamar and The Whispers, and Andre Cymone, a former bass player for Prince, replacing Kashif and Paul Lawrence Jones III.

The album peaked at #24 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached #91 on the Billboard 200. It produced the hit singles "Action", "Shake Down", and "Teenager". The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with bonus tracks in 2011 by Funky Town Grooves Records.
