Dancing on the Couch is the second album by the band Go West, released in 1987. It reached number 19 on the UK Albums Chart.

The American version of the album featured a slightly different cover (zoomed in further on the image of Cox and Drummie on the couch) and included the track "Don't Look Down – The Sequel" (a slightly enhanced version of a song from Go West's debut album) in place of "Let's Build a Boat".^[2] "Don't Look Down – The Sequel" would become Go West's first top 40 stateside hit.
