Left Hand Talking is the eighth studio album by the British singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke, released in 1991.

Despite considerable promotion and featuring a re-recording of her best known song, "Stay with Me till Dawn", the album failed to chart. It was the last of Tzuke's albums to be released by a major record label. Her next album, Wonderland, was released on an independent label, and all subsequent albums have been released on her own home label, Big Moon Records.{{Cite magazine |last=Sexton |first=Paul |date=30 January 2022 |title=Judie Tzuk Acts as Her Own "Agent" With Big Moon Album |pages=11 |magazine=Billboard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1Q0EAAAAMBAJ&dq=Left+Hand+Talking+judie+tzuke&pg=PA11 |access-date=5 August 2022}}{{Cite news |date=28 February 2002 |title=Judie Tzuke has 'stayed with us 'til dawn' and she is still going strong |work=Evesham Journal |url=https://www.eveshamjournal.co.uk/news/6695079.judie-tzuke-has-stayed-with-us-til-dawn-and-she-is-still-going-strong/ |access-date=5 August 2022}}
