"The Reflex" is the eleventh single by the band Duran Duran. It was released internationally by EMI in April 1984.

In a heavily remixed form, it was the band's second single to top the UK singles chart, after "Is There Something I Should Know?" in 1983. It was also the band's first single to hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (for two weeks) on 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, Ontario on 5 March 1984, by director Russell Mulcahy.
