"Kind Hearted Woman Blues" is a blues song recorded on November 23, 1936 in San Antonio, Texas by legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. The song was originally released on 78 rpm format as Vocalion 03416. It can be found on many compilation albums, including his first one, King of the Delta Blues Singers (1961). The song is written in the key of A, and contains Johnson's only recorded guitar solo.

Like many of Johnson's songs, "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" is a staple in many blues musicians' repertoires and has been recorded by dozens of traditional and contemporary blues figures, including Muddy Waters, Robert "Junior" Lockwood, Johnny Winter, George Thorogood, and Keb' Mo'. It was included on Eric Clapton's 2004 album, Me and Mr. Johnson, along with many other Johnson classics.

On Led Zeppelin's cover of Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues," singer Robert Plant quotes this song with the line "Got a kind-hearted woman/she studies evil all the time".
