Repeat Offender is the second album by singer/songwriter Richard Marx. Released in mid-1989, it went on to sell over four million copies due to three singles in the Billboard Top Five charts including two #1 hit songs: "Satisfied" and "Right Here Waiting".

After touring for 14 months on his first album, Marx returned to the studio with a number of songs that had been written while on the road. The album was recorded with well-known L.A.-area studio musicians and would go on to become even more successful than his debut record.
