"When All Is Said and Done" is a song by the Swedish recording group ABBA, recorded for their eighth studio album The Visitors (1981). Featuring lead vocals by Anni-Frid Lyngstad, the track was released as the second overall single from the album on 31 December 1981. It was released in North America by Atlantic Records as the lead single to The Visitors in place of "One of Us", which had been released in Europe and Australia. The track details the divorce of Lyngstad and Benny Andersson.

The single placed moderately on the charts of North America, where it peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and did not chart on the Canada RPM Top Singles. However, it placed better rankings on the Adult Contemporary component charts of both countries, peaking at number four in Canada and ten in the United States. Internationally, it charted within the top twenty in Chile while barely made a dent in Australia.
