"Voyeur" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Kim Carnes for her seventh studio album of the same name (1982). Written by Carnes, her husband Dave Ellingson, and Duane Hitchings, the song is an uptempo synthpop track. It is the first track from the album, and its lead single. It peaked at #25 in Cash Box and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Voyeur" was a hit in the United States and in Europe, where it peaked highest in Norway (#5). It featured a then-controversial music video, which was later banned for its suggestiveness. The song received a nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 1983 Grammy Awards.
