"Taste in Men" is a single by alternative rock band Placebo. Taken from their third album, it reached number 16 in the UK singles chart.

The music video, directed by Barbara McDonogh, was filmed in the Central London Register office. It shows Brian Molko involved in a bizarre love triangle with a rowing couple. Montages of Molko with both the man and the woman are sequenced throughout the video.

The song was also used in an episode from the United States version of Queer as Folk.

The beginning of the song is remarkable in its similarity to Pink Floyd's "Let There Be More Light".
