"A Question of Lust" is a song by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode from their fifth studio album, Black Celebration (1986). It was released on 14 April 1986 as the album's second single.

It is the second Depeche Mode single to feature Martin Gore on lead vocals, following "Somebody", and the first to be released in its own right. However, the 12-inch single was, like "Somebody", released as a double A-side with "A Question of Time" in the United States.

The single reached number 28 in United Kingdom and number 8 in West Germany.
