Lament is an album by Ultravox, released in 1984. This was the seventh full album and the fourth of the band's most-recognisable incarnation, fronted by Midge Ure. It was also the last album featuring original drummer Warren Cann.

The albums sound saw the band continuing to move away from the synth pop/New Romantic idiom, heading in a not entirely dissimilar direction to contemporaries such as Simple Minds, U2 and Echo and the Bunnymen, featuring greater use of guitar and 'stadium' reverb.
