"Town of Plenty" is a song by English musician Elton John from the album Reg Strikes Back and was released in 1988. The song was the first album track to be heard after John's throat surgery. Pete Townshend of The Who plays acoustic guitar on the track, while Davey Johnstone plays electric. Among the backing vocalists contributing to the track are John's former bandmates Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray. This would be the final album of John's that Murray would contribute to, prior to his death from a stroke in 1992.

The single release of "Town of Plenty" was the second to be issued from Reg Strikes Back in the United Kingdom where it barely charted; it reached number 74 (one place above the lowest chart position available in 1988) and was gone by the next week.{{Cite web|title=Official Singles Chart Top 100 {{!}} Official Charts Company|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19880904/7501/|access-date=2022-02-17|publisher=Official Charts Company|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Elton John {{!}} full Official Chart History {{!}} Official Charts Company|date=23 January 1971 |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/21478/elton-john/|access-date=2022-02-17|publisher=Official Charts Company}} The single was not released in the US.
