"Call My Name" is a song by the synthpop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It was released as the fourth (and last) single from the album Sugar Tax but remixed for this release. The single made the Top 100 on the UK Singles Chart at #50. The B-side to the 7" single, "Walk Tall" is featured as the tenth track on Sugar Tax. An extended remix version was also released on the CD and 12" issues, featuring an uncredited female voice speaking over a telephone and the sounds of a rotary telephone dial.

Critic Dave Thompson in AllMusic praised the song, calling it "a dance-fired extravaganza with a melody that's as memorable as the beats are incendiary."
