Reg Strikes Back is the 21st studio album by English singer-songwriter Elton John. Released in 1988, it was his self-proclaimed comeback album, and his own way of fighting back against bad press. The "Reg" in Reg Strikes Back refers to John's birth name, Reginald Kenneth Dwight.

In the US the album was certified gold in August 1988 by the RIAA.
