Penthouse and Pavement is the debut studio album by English synth-pop band Heaven 17, released in September 1981 by Virgin Records.

"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" was released as a single, but did not achieve chart success, partly due to a ban by the BBC.^[3] Despite not generating a major hit single, the album reached no.14 and spent 77 weeks on the UK Albums Chart.^[4] It has since been regarded as "an important outing",^[2] is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and was re-released in 2010 in a three-disc special edition.
