"Heyday" is an album by Australian rock band The Church, released in January 1986. The album marked the first occasion when group compositions dominated one of the band's releases. Although most of the keyboards utilized on previous recordings had been stripped back, the album saw a greater amount of embellishment with the addition of strings and brass. While at the time "Heyday" featured more focus on the guitar interplay than anything since "The Blurred Crusade", solos had been cut to a bare minimum. Rolling Stone said the album "suggest [s] a more electrified version of Love's '68 orchestral rock classic Forever Changes."

Despite some critics and followers taking issue with the brash horns on some songs, the album regularly lists among the fanbase's (and even band members') favorites. Tracks such as "Myrrh" and "Tantalized" have been featured in live shows even up to present day.
