"Leather and Lace" is a song performed by American singers Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. It was released on October 6, 1981, as the second single from Nicks' solo debut studio album Bella Donna (1981).

Nicks wrote the song for Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter's duet album Leather and Lace, but the song was not included on the album.[1] Nicks' version, a duet with Eagles singer Don Henley, peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in January 1982.[2] Jimmy Iovine was the producer.

The song compares the male singer's rougher life, represented by leather, to the female singer's softer life, represented by lace, and how the opposites can attract. Nicks sings "Give to me your leather, take from me my lace." Record World called it a "magical ballad."[1]
