Fore! is the fourth studio album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music).

Upon its release in August 1986, the album hit number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart and went on to score five top-ten Billboard Hot 100 singles, including the number-one hits: "Stuck with You" and "Jacob's Ladder."

The wall that Lewis and the members of the band stand against on the album's cover is a wall from Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, California. Band members Bill Gibson, Sean Hopper and Mario Cipollina went to this school together.

The compact disc of the album is seen in the movie American Psycho. The main character Patrick Bateman, while talking to one of his potential victims, gives an honest review of the album, discussing the band's viewpoint, intent, and how specifically the song "Hip to Be Square" espouses "the pleasures of conformity" but with a catchy 1980s beat, going on to state it is the group's most accomplished album.

The European and Japanese version had "The Power of Love" (from Back to the Future) as Track 8, then Tracks 8-10 above as Tracks 9-11.
