White Feathers is the debut album by English new wave band Kajagoogoo, released in 1983. It was produced by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran and Colin Thurston, who was Duran Duran's producer at the time, except for track #5, "Kajagoogoo" which was produced by Tim Palmer and the band. Mostly composed by Nick Beggs and lead singer Limahl, White Feathers contains the band's most successful single "Too Shy", as well as two other UK top twenty hits ("Ooh To Be Ahh" and "Hang On Now").

After the band was featured on the VH1 program Bands Reunited in 2003, renewed interest in Kajagoogoo prompted EMI to re-issue White Feathers in 2004. Originally containing ten tracks, the 2004 version of the album was completely remastered and contained eight bonus tracks.
