Wages Day is the second single from the album When the World Knows Your Name by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.

The main B-side is "Take Me to the Place", which is musically based on the hymn "Abide with Me" and the traditional melody "Eventide". Some versions of the single contain two songs, "Take the Saints Away" and a cover of Julian Cope's "Trampoline".
