«Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)» — песня британского музыканта карибского происхождения Билли Оушена с его пятого студийного альбома Suddenly (1984). Соавтором и продюсером выступил Кит Даймонд (1950—1997). Песня вышла под разными названиями для разных частей света (включая «European Queen» и «African Queen», под которыми не была столь популярной)[3]. В 1985 году песня выиграла премию Грэмми в категории Лучшее мужское вокальное R&B исполнение, сделав Билли Оушена первым британцем, получившим её[4]. Сингл с песней, вышедший осенью 1984 года, стал крупным хитом, войдя в десятку лучших хитов многих стран мира, включая американский (№ 1 в Billboard Hot 100)[4][5], канадский (№ 1 — RPM Singles Chart)[6] и другие (№ 1 — Новая Зеландия, № 2 — Австралия[7], № 6 — UK Singles Chart)[8][9][10].
