Ça Va (/sɑː vɑː/; French for "okay", literally "that goes") is a studio album by German/British avant-pop group Slapp Happy, recorded in London in 1997. Slapp Happy had reunited to make this album and (unlike all their previous albums) they played all the instruments themselves. They also used a digital studio to produce a layered sound on many of the tracks.

The V2 Records release of the album in Japan included a bonus track.
