Pins and Needles is a musical revue of songs by Harold Rome, with a book by Arthur Arent, Marc Blitzstein, Emmanuel Eisenberg, Charles Friedman, David Gregory, Joseph Schrank, Arnold B. Horwitt, John Latouche, and Rome. The title Pins and Needles was created by Max Danish, long-time editor of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) newspaper Justice.

The revue first ran on Broadway from 1937 to 1940, with a special White House performance in 1938 for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor.

An Off-Broadway revival was staged in 1978. A London production in 2010 received positive reviews. The show ran at the Provincetown Playhouse in 2016, produced by the Steinhardt School at New York University.
