Touch is the third studio album by the British new wave duo Eurythmics, released on 14 November 1983. The album was the duo's first UK number-one album, and also reached the top 10 in the US. It has since been certified Platinum in both the UK and the US.

The album was listed in Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003, and again in a revised list in 2012.

By the time Touch was released, Eurythmics had achieved international success with their hit single "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and their album of the same name. Preceded by the hit single "Who's That Girl?", Touch was recorded and mixed in only about three weeks at Eurythmics' own London studio facility, The Church.

A remix album, Touch Dance, was released in 1984.

Touch was also the first album to be released simultaneously on record and on the then-new CD format in the United States.

The album features the singles "Who's That Girl?" (#3 UK, #21 US), "Right by Your Side" (#10 UK, #29 US) and "Here Comes the Rain Again" (#8 UK, #4 US).

On 14 November 2005, SonyBMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalog as "2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues." Each of their eight studio albums' original track listings were supplemented with bonus tracks and remixes.

In 2012, the album was ranked number 492 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It had originally appeared at #500 on the 2003 version of the list. Slant Magazine listed the album at #47 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s".
