Silk and Steel is the name of a chart-topping album by British pop group Five Star. Silk and Steel broke the record in its day for making Five Star the youngest ever act to have a UK #1 album, with an average age of 19.5[citation needed](that record, however, was broken by Mcfly in 2005, who had an average age of 18).

The album was recorded in Austria, Germany and London in early 1986 and produced six UK top 40 hit singles. The album itself had achieved 4 x platinum status by 1987, selling more than 1.2 million copies in the UK alone.

A photograph on the reverse sleeve of Silk and Steel shows the group outside the world-famous, newly opened Lloyd's Building in London.
