"Out of Mind, Out of Sight" is the title single by Australian new wave rock band Models from their album of the same name. It was released in July 1985 and was their most successful single, which peaked at No. 1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart. The album followed in August on Mushroom Records with Nick Launay, Reggie Lucas and Mark Opitz producing and reached No. 3 on the related albums chart.

The album provided five singles, with the first, "Big on Love" issued in November 1984, which reached No. 24. Second single "Barbados" released in March 1985 peaked at No. 2. "Cold Fever" appeared in October and made the Top 50 but "King of Kings" their December release did not. In 1986, Geffen Records released Out of Mind, Out of Sight internationally and it appeared on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with the single, "Out of Sight, Out of Mind", peaking at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The band toured the US in November supporting Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

Models formed in Melbourne in 1978 by members from Teenage Radio Stars and JAM, after some line-up changes they were Andrew Duffield on keyboards, Mark Ferrie on bass guitar, Janis Friedenfelds (a.k.a. Johnny Crash) on drums and percussion, and Sean Kelly on vocals and lead guitar. By 1982, more line-up changes occurred, Ferrie and Friedenfelds had left and James Freud (ex-Teenage Radio Stars, James Freud & Berlin) joined on bass guitar and vocals. Kelly and Freud had been in high school bands which developed into Teenage Radio Stars. New Zealand drummer, Barton Price (ex-Crocodiles, Sardine v) joined later in 1982.
