Body Talk is the seventh studio album (fifth internationally released) by Swedish singer Robyn, released on 22 November 2010 by Konichiwa Records. Robyn first announced in early 2010 that she would release three mini-albums throughout the course of 2010. However, it was later announced that a full-length album would be released instead of a third mini-album. The first two mini-albums of what was dubbed the Body Talk series, Body Talk Pt. 1 and Body Talk Pt. 2, were released in June and September 2010. While being a separate studio album in its own right, the full-length release also serves as a compilation album, containing the "best songs" from the first two entries in the Body Talk series in addition to five new songs. In certain territories, the new songs were also available separately as an extended play released the same day, titled Body Talk Pt. 3. The four songs and two acoustic versions from the project that were excluded from the original track listing were later included on the German iTunes and 2019 Record Store Day vinyl versions of the album.

In October 2019, the album was placed at number eight on Pitchfork's list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s".[2] In 2020, the album was ranked 196 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest albums of all time.[3] In 2024, the album was ranked 100 on Apple Music's 100 Best Albums of All Time list.[4] As of 2013, combined sales of the three parts of Body Talk series were 170,000 copies in the United States.[5]
