"Never Trust a Stranger" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kim Wilde, released as the third single from her sixth album, Close (1988).

Remixed from the original album track by her brother, producer Ricki Wilde, it was released in the autumn of 1988 by MCA and KIM 9 following the best-selling hit "You Came" and several European tour dates supporting Michael Jackson.

It became another big hit in Europe, peaking within the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Jack Barron from NME wrote, "Kim Wilde, meanwhile, has done the unthinkable and cross-fertilised Blondie with Ultravox thus producing an empty Box and spoiling her run of sparkling singles.

Spanish singer Mónica Naranjo released a Spanish language version titled "Hoy No (Never Trust a Stranger)" on her 2020 EP Mes Excentricités Vol.
