"Preacher Man" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It appears on the group's fifth studio album "Pop Life" and was released as the album's second single. The track was co-written and produced by Youth with additional production and remix by Shep Pettibone.

The music video features a man tied to a chair in the interrogation room of a prison. As he breaks down and goes crazy, the girls, as well as various other carnival-like costumed entertainers such as a midget and a girl in a winged outfit, appear as hallucinations before him. These scenes are intercut with the girls performing the song in front of candles.

The pop/dance tune became the highest-charting and biggest-selling single released from the "Pop Life" album, climbing to number twenty in the UK singles chart. The single was Bananarama's last appearance in the UK top twenty until "Move in My Direction" in 2005. It briefly appeared in the Australian Kent Report chart, peaking at 100, but did not enter the 'official' Australian ARIA Chart top 100. "Preacher Man" was not released in the United States.
