Katrina and the Waves is the third album by new wave band Katrina and the Waves, and the first released on a major label, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music). The majority of tracks were re-mixed and overdubbed versions of songs that had appeared on their first two albums; the tracks "Walking on Sunshine" and "Going Down to Liverpool" were entirely re-recorded versions of songs from their first independently released album.

This version of "Walking on Sunshine" became a pop hit in the United States, leading some to refer to the group as a one-hit wonder, despite the fact that two other singles from this album made it into the Billboard Hot 100, and that the band would score a second U.S. Top 20 hit ("That's the Way") four years later.
