"The Touch" is a song by the English pop singer Kim Wilde. It was the second single to be released from her fourth studio album Teases & Dares (1984). Released in November 1984, it peaked at #56 on the UK Singles Chart.
"The Touch" was released as both a 7" and a 12" single. The 7" had a remix of the album version on side A, and a track written by Wilde herself on side B entitled "Shangri-La", also from the Teases & Dares album. Both tracks were extended for the 12" release. It also featured in the soundtrack of the American teen romantic comedy film Secret Admirer (1985).
The music video for "The Touch" features Wilde playing Cinderella.
