"Casual Encounter" is a song by Australian rock band Divinyls, released in August 1983. The song originally appeared on the Australian release of the band's debut album Desperate, but first appeared on the international release of their second album What a Life!. "Casual Encounter" did not meet with success when it was released as a single, only peaking at number ninety-one on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart.
On the original Australian version of Desperate, "Casual Encounter" ran 3:17 and had a proper ending, but the single and What a Life versions just faded it out at the 3:05 mark, which was carried over to Greatest Hits in 2006.
