Fly on the Wall is a hard rock album by Australian band AC/DC. It was released on June 28, 1985. The album was recorded over a period from November 1984 until February 1985 at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. It was the first album to feature then-drummer Simon Wright, who replaced Phil Rudd in 1983. The album was produced by Angus and Malcolm Young.

The album was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.

The album reached #7 in the UK and #32 in the US

Fly on the Wall is considered by some fans as one of the weaker albums in the bands catalogue. Nevertheless, videos for the songs "Shake Your Foundations" and "Sink the Pink" were popular and both songs were included on the Who Made Who soundtrack/compilation released the following year. Fly on the Wall is the band's second consecutive, and final, self-produced LP.
