"Walking Wounded" is a song by English musical duo Everything but the Girl. Member Ben Watt wrote the song's lyrics while electronic music duo Spring Heel Jack (John Coxon and Ashley Wales) composed the music and produced the track. The song appears on Everything but the Girl's ninth studio album, Walking Wounded (1996), in two different versions: the album version as track five and the Omni Trio remix as the final track.^[1] It was the duo's first single release on Virgin Records, as their previous label, Blanco y Negro, had dropped them before the Todd Terry remix of "Missing" became a worldwide hit.^[2]

In April 1996, "Walking Wounded" was released as the first single from the album in the United Kingdom; in the United States, "Wrong" served as the lead single instead.^[3] Music critics acclaimed the song, with several focusing on Tracey Thorn's vocal performance. Commercially, "Walking Wounded" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, giving the duo their third top-10 hit, and entered the top 40 in four other countries. A black-and-white music video was made for the single, featuring Thorn, Watt, and others holding up picture frames in front of various people.
