Actually is the third album, the second of entirely new music, by the UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. It was first released in 1987.

Actually is not much different from Pet Shop Boys' first album, Please in terms of musical style, but the production quality is noticeably better. Popular singles from Actually include "It's a Sin" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?", a duet with fellow Parlophone artist Dusty Springfield.

Actually was rereleased in 2001 (as were most of the group's albums up to that point) as Actually/Further Listening 1987-1988. The rereleased version was not only digitally remastered but came with a second disc of B-sides and previously unreleased material from around the time of the album's original release.
