"Typical Male" is a song recorded by American singer Tina Turner. It was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle and produced by the former for Turner's studio album Break Every Rule (1986).

The song hit number one in Cash Box magazine and just missed becoming her second number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number two for three consecutive weeks behind Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors". It reached number three on the Billboard R&B Chart. The B-side of the single was "Don't Turn Around", covered by Bonnie Tyler, Aswad, and Ace of Base. Phil Collins plays drums on the song. "Typical Male" is unusual for a pop song, in that the chorus includes a single measure in 2/4 time.
