"Angel" is a song written by singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks of the British-American band Fleetwood Mac. It first appeared on the band's 1979 double album Tusk and was released as a single in the Netherlands the following year.

The song was performed on Fleetwood Mac's 1979-1980 Tusk Tour and has since been issued on a few of the band's deluxe editions, starting with the 2015 super deluxe edition of Tusk, which included a live recording from their performance in St. Louis on 5 November 1979. A 5 May 1980 live recording from the Richfield Coliseum in Ohio was included on the deluxe edition of their Live album. In 2025, Nicks included "Angel" in the setlist for her show in Portland, Oregon, which marked the first time the song was performed live since 1983.

A different Fleetwood Mac song with the same name was written by Bob Welch and included on the band's Heroes are Hard to Find album in 1974. In the liner notes for Welch's Greatest Hits & More – Revisited, he said that the lyrics were about "want[ing] to see an angel" and "understanding whether the angel is a human being".
