Emotional is the fourth studio album by Austrian singer and rapper Falco, released in 1986.{{cite web|work=Los Angeles Times|title=Fall Album Roundup : Falco's Teutonic Rap|date=23 November 1986|last=Hochman|first=Steve|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-11-23-ca-12203-story.html}}

It was Falco's second album produced by Bolland & Bolland. The lead single was "The Sound of Musik". The second single, "Coming Home (Jeanny Part II, One Year Later)", is a sequel to the song "Jeanny".

The album's cover, a still from the music video for the title track, is a homage to a similar backdrop used by Elvis Presley in his 1968 comeback special.
