"Ocean Blue" is a song by English new wave and synth-pop band ABC, released as the fourth single from their third studio album, How to Be a ... Zillionaire!

The song peaked at No. 51 on the UK Singles Chart; the song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was the only single from the album not to chart on the Hot 100; their next single to chart there would be "When Smokey Sings" the following year.

The single version was re-recorded with drummer David Palmer after the release of the album, also referred to as the "Pacific Mix".

The song's music video, shot in black and white, features lead singer Martin Fry singing the song, intercut with scenes of violinists and the remaining members of the band.

There is no evidence that any versions, other than imports, were ever released in the US, even in promotional form.
