Dead Fingers Talk was a British Gothic Rock band from the early 1980's.

Based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, its founder, Steve Gad having spent a year with Liverpool band Echo and the Bunnymen with their intense visual imagery, and careful use of mood lighting, formed DFT with theatrics firmly in mind. A primarily live band Dead Fingers Talk quickly rose through the ranks of 'must see' bands, employing heavy use of smoke machines and undertaker style costumes, and were invited to open for several former Top 40 bands, including Hawkwind and The Icicle Works, and a comeback by fellow former Mansfield resident Alvin Stardust. Steve Gad, tiring of the format, eventually went on to front Such Perfect Liars.

The band takes its name from the William S. Burroughs novel, Dead Fingers Talk.
