The Reflex is the 11th single by the band Duran Duran. It was released internationally by EMI Records in April 1984.

In a heavily remixed form, it was the band's second single to top the charts, after "Is There Something I Should Know?" in 1983. It was also the band's first single to top the charts in the USA, when it hits #1 23 June, 1984.

The remixes for both the 7" and 12" singles were done by Nile Rodgers, of Chic fame. It was his first work with the band, and he would later go on to produce "The Wild Boys" single as well as the Notorious (1986) album and several tracks on Astronaut (2004).

The Reflex was the third and last single to be taken from Duran Duran's third album Seven and the Ragged Tiger. It was also the second single to feature a vanity catalogue number in the UK, DURAN 2.

The video for "The Reflex" was shot at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, ON on 5 March.
