"Angel" is the name of a song written and recorded by Jimi Hendrix. It first got an official album release on 1971's posthumous The Cry of Love.

In 1972, Rod Stewart released his version of this song as a single from his album Never a Dull Moment. While it failed to achieve the major success of its predecessor "You Wear It Well," the song still did well in several markets worldwide. In the United Kingdom, the song charted as a double A-side with "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)."

Some of this song's lyrics were recited at Hendrix's funeral.
