Foreign Affair é o sétimo álbum solo de estúdio de Tina Turner , lançado em 13 de setembro de 1989, pela Capitol Records. Foi o terceiro lançamento de álbum de Turner após seu retorno de enorme sucesso cinco anos antes com Private Dancer e seu terceiro e último álbum com a gravadora. Embora o álbum não tenha sido um grande sucesso nos Estados Unidos, terra natal de Turner, foi um grande sucesso internacional, especialmente na Europa. O álbum alcançou o primeiro lugar na UK Albums Chart, seu primeiro álbum número um lá. Dan Hartman produziu a maioria das faixas do álbum, incluindo o single de sucesso "The Best", que se tornou uma das canções de assinatura de Turner.
