"The Slightest Touch" is the name of a 1987 hit single by the British pop group Five Star. It reached no. 4 in the UK singles chart, and is the group's third biggest-selling single (selling over 175,000 copies). It was, however, the group's final Top 10 hit to date.

Taken from their second album, Silk & Steel, Five Star chose legendary remixer Shep Pettibone to remix the album track for release as a single.
