"Kiss and Tell" is a song by Bryan Ferry, the erstwhile lead vocalist for Roxy Music. It was released as the second single from his seventh album Bête Noire in early 1988, being Ferry's twenty-sixth single. The song peaked at number 41 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 31 on the US Billboard 100. It also appears in the film Bright Lights, Big City, adapted from the Jay McInerney novel.

The song's main promotional video featured model Denice Lewis, whose photograph also adorns the single's cover sleeve. Also featured is Christine Keeler, whose earlier involvement with a British government minister triggered the Profumo affair, which discredited elements of the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan, in 1963. This is in keeping with the song's subject matter.

Fans have often speculated that his song "Kiss and Tell", was Ferry's response to Jerry Hall's tell-all book about their relationship published a couple of years earlier.
