"The Captain of Her Heart" is a song by the Swiss duo Double from their debut studio album, Blue (1985).
The single was an international success, reaching #8 on the UK Singles Chart and #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #4 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Double was the first Swiss act to reach the top 40 in the U.S.
It reached #3 in Italy and the Dominican Republic, #4 on the Canada Adult Contemporary (RPM), #6 in Ireland, #9 in France, #9 in Norway, #10 in West Germany, #11 in Switzerland (Schweizer Hitparade), #14 in South Africa, and #15 in Austria.
In a retrospective review of the song, AllMusic journalist Stewart Mason suggested that the song is "one of the great lost one-hit wonders of the mid-1980s." Mason wrote: "The Swiss duo never managed to capitalize on this song's casual sophistication and melodic grace, but it remains a glorious anomaly." The prominent saxophone on the song was played by Christian Ostermeier.
