"Capitaine abandonné" is a 1985 song recorded by French band Gold.

It was the lead single from the band's second studio album Capitaine abandonné on which it features in an extended version as first track.

"Capitaine abandonné" was released as Gold's second single overall in January 1986, and met with a success in France where it was a number-one hit.

The music video shows the group performing the song in a bar where men are playing cards, and these images alternate with scenes of navigation during the chorus.

In 2002, the song was covered by Axel Bauer, Patrick Fiori and Gérald De Palmas, and this 3:09 version is the ninth track on Les Enfoirés' album Tous dans le même bateau.
