Bête Noire is the seventh solo studio album by the English singer Bryan Ferry, released on 2 November 1987 by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom and by Reprise Records in the United States. It was a commercial and critical success, peaking at No. 9 in the UK and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

The first single, "The Right Stuff"—a collaboration with Johnny Marr adapted from the Smiths' instrumental B-side "Money Changes Everything" —was the album's only top-40 entry in the UK, peaking at No. 37. The second single, "Kiss and Tell", narrowly missed the UK top 40 (peaking at No. 41), but made the US top 40 (becoming Ferry's only solo single to chart in the US Top 40). The song also appeared in the drama film, Bright Lights, Big City (1988), starring Michael J. Fox. The third and final single, "Limbo", peaked at No. 86 in the UK.
