After Eight is the debut album by Indonesian-born Dutch singer and songwriter Taco Ockerse, mononymously known as Taco. The record, released in 1982 by RCA Records, contained his biggest hit, a synth and New Wave driven take on the Irving Berlin standard "Puttin' on the Ritz". However, in addition to six covers of classic pop songs, he co-wrote five original songs.

The album peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200.
