Sad Café is the 4th studio album by English rock band Sad Café, released in October 1980 by RCA Records.

In the UK, two singles were released, "La-Di-Da" and "I'm in Love Again" both of which charted on the UK Singles Chart. On some editions of the album, "Love Today" and "I'm in Love Again" are swapped around on the track listing.

The album failed to continue the success of the band's previous album and it charted at number 46 on the UK Album Charts. It was also certified silver by the BPI in February 1981. In the US, the album was released by Swan Song Records and it charted at number 160 on the Billboard 200.
