"Revival" is a song recorded by British pop music duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox, David A. Stewart and guest keyboardist Pat Seymour. It was produced by Stewart. The song appears on the duo's album We Too Are One and was released in the UK as its first single.

Lennox and Stewart returned to a rock/R&B sound for the album and "Revival" is an uptempo tune which lyrically is a call for renewal and encouragement. Lennox sings the song to a subject who is facing hardships and feeling low, or perhaps is feeling bitter after much struggle in life. The single was a minor UK hit and became the duo's sixteenth (and final) Top 20 single in Australia. "Revival" was not released as a single in the United States.
