Walking Wounded is a 1996 album by Everything but the Girl, their ninth studio release. It is their highest charting album to date, reaching number 4 in the UK and number 37 in the U.S.

This was the first album in which the group adopted a more electronic and dance style after the success of the remixed version of "Missing" from their previous album, Amplified Heart.

Several tracks from the album were released as singles, including ' the cinematic drum 'n' bass-pop crossover', "Walking Wounded" (#6 on the Top 40), the 'thumping house', "Wrong" (#8 on the Top 40), and the down tempo "Single" that set Thorn's emotionally direct vocal against breakbeats, organ and strings.
