"Come Back Suzanne" is a song by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, released in 1982 as a single from his eponymous third solo studio album, through A&M Records.[1] He described it as "a little bit Stonesy. This one hasn't got any cockney French on it."[2]

Donald Guarisco of AllMusic praised the song as one of the best on the album. He called it "a one-of-a-kind rock/disco/new wave hybrid that blends power chords with ethereal synth flourishes as Wyman delivers a tongue-in-cheek tale of lost love."[3] Susan Molloy of the Sydney Morning Herald considered its lyrics to be among Wyman's best and placed it as an album highlight.[4] Georgiy Starostin called "Come Back Suzanne" a "tongue-in-cheek disco parody (brilliant)."[5]
