Lipstick Killers – The Mercer Street Sessions 1972 is a 1981 album of demos by the New York Dolls.

Lipstick Killers is the only Dolls album to feature original drummer Billy Murcia, who died during a tour in London in 1972. Six of the nine tracks were later re-recorded for their self titled debut. "Don't Start Me Talking" and "Human Being" were later re-recorded for Too Much Too Soon. Their cover of Otis Redding's "Don't Mess with Cupid" was never re-recorded. The producer of the Mercer Street Sessions, Marty Thau, was the person who discovered and managed the Dolls.
