Come Elektra Tuesday is an unreleased song recorded on 26 May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. The song features Jill Jones on background vocals, and was also considered for her eponymous album, but ultimately not included.

The name "Elektra" (or "Electra") was already used in The Ladder. Prince wanted to give this stage name to Jill Jones, but she refused, preferring to keep her birth name for her musical career. The name Elektra was also intended to be used for the character she was supposed to play in a short-lived musical project in 1984 titled Roadhouse Garden. The moniker was eventually suggested a few years later to Tera Patrick, who came to be known as Carmen Electra.

During Prince: A Celebration in June 2000, computer screens at Paisley Park Studios offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on Crystal Ball Volume II, but Come Elektra Tuesday was not chosen by fans, and the project was ultimately abandoned.
