"Domino Dancing" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as the lead single from their 1988 album Introspective.

Influenced by Latin pop, the song was produced by Lewis A. Martinée, the Miami-based producer behind 1980s freestyle groups like Exposé. The song was also recorded at Martinée's studio in Miami, resulting in a considerably large number of studio musicians for a Pet Shop Boys song being featured on it. The single missed the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #18 and later became the duo's sixth and last Top 40 hit.

The Domino Dancing Music video is about two attractive young men fighting over one girl. It was filmed in about 4 days in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1988. The 2 boys were David Boira and Adalberto Martinez & the girl is Donna Bottman, all from Puerto Rico.
