Comfort and Joy is the third soundtrack album by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, released in 1984 by Vertigo Records.

The album contains music composed for the 1984 film Comfort and Joy, written and directed by Bill Forsyth.

According to a review of the film by Philip Gillett, director Forsyth once acknowledged in an interview that he was "trying to mirror the tone" of the album by featuring the tracks "Telegraph Road" and "Private Investigations".

[1] Dialogue in the film also makes reference to the band and song lyrics.

After the main character Allan "Dicky" Bird's car has been vandalised, a colleague quips, "I hear the seven deadly sins and the terrible twins came to call on you"—a direct quote from the song "It Never Rains".
