'''''Déjà Fou''''' is the 16th studio [[album]] by [[England|English]] band [[Strawbs]]. The title is a play on the phrase [[déjà vu]], [[French Language|French]] for "already seen", as the band line-up had been seen 30 years before on the ''[[Hero and Heroine]]'' album. The phrase ''déjà fou'' literally means "already mad". The album delivers the kind of [[British folk rock]] the band had built its reputation on.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/d%C3%A9j%C3%A0-fou-mw0000373877|work=[[AllMusic]]|title=Déjà Fou Review|author=Jimmy James}}</ref>
