"Maybe He'll Know" is a song by American singer Cyndi Lauper from her 1986 album, True Colors. It served as the fifth and final single of the album, released only in Europe in 1987. It is a remake of a song that Lauper recorded with her former band, Blue Angel.{{Cite web |last=Duquette |first=Mike |date=30 October 2023 |title=I'm Gonna Be Strong: Blue Angel's Album, Featuring Cyndi Lauper, Gets Reissued |url=https://theseconddisc.com/2023/10/30/blue-angel-cyndi-lauper-reissue/ |access-date=2 December 2023 |website=The Second Disc |language=en-US}} The two versions are slightly different lyrically in a few lines. Billy Joel joins Lauper in 'doo wop' style back-up vocal duties.{{Cite magazine|last=Daw|first=Stephen |date=15 October 2021|title='True Colors' at 35: How Cyndi Lauper Reimagined Her Career With Her Sophomore Album|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/cyndi-lauper-interview-true-colors-35th-anniversary-9645206/|access-date=2 December 2023|magazine=Billboard|language=en-US}}

The Blue Angel version of the song appears in the 1999 film 200 Cigarettes after a quarter when Kate Hudson's character is in the restaurant's restroom composing herself. A remix of "Maybe He'll Know"—presumably created with the intention of single release in the U.S.—surfaced as the B-side to Lauper's "I Drove All Night".

The single received radio adds in France in September 1987.{{cite magazine|magazine=Music & Media|date=September 19, 1987|volume=4|number=37|title=Station Reports|page=27|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/80s/1987/M&M-1987-09-19.pdf|accessdate=December 24, 2024}}
