Quartet, released in 1982, is the sixth LP by British band Ultravox, and the third of the band's most-recognizable incarnation, fronted by Midge Ure. This album was produced by George Martin.

The album was backed by Ultravox's huge Monument Tour, which itself was recorded and released in album format a year later in 1983.

Quartet was remastered and re-released on CD by EMI in 1999 with the b-side of each of the album's singles as bonus tracks.
