Heroes Are Hard to Find is the ninth studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 13 September 1974. This is the last album recorded with Bob Welch, who left the band at the end of 1974. It was the first Fleetwood Mac studio album recorded in the United States, in Los Angeles.

The album was recorded following a legal dispute with the band's longtime manager Clifford Davis over the use of the band's name and their copyright. Heroes Are Hard to Find peaked at No. 34 on the US Billboard 200, making it the band's highest charting album in that country at the time. The album received a delayed release in the United Kingdom due to an injunction obtained by Davis.

The band embarked on the Heroes Are Hard to Find Tour in North America to promote the album, which extended into December. Later that month, Welch left Fleetwood Mac and was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who later recorded several multi-platinum albums with the band.
