The Last Temptation of Chris is an album by Chris Difford, one of the founding members of the new wave band Squeeze. It was released on April 7, 2008. This is his second solo album, a follow-up to his solo debut in 2002, I Didn't Get Where I Am. The album is dedicated to Chris's brother, Les, who died before the album's release. The album's title is a play on The Last Temptation of Christ. The cover of the album is of Difford slouched at a counter with a cup of coffee and wearing a black Homburg hat and a black Astrakhan coat, in homage to a famous photo of comedian Tony Hancock.
