"Invisible Hands" is a 1983 single and the lead release from Kim Carnes's album Café Racers.

Despite positive reviews in the music press and some rotation of the video, the single stalled at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100; it would be the highest charted of all the singles released from the album. John "Jellybean" Benitez (who would go on to produce Madonna's breakthrough hit "Holiday") was drafted in to remix the track for the dance mix version.

The single's B-side was "I'll Be Here Where The Heart Is", the principal ballad from the movie Flashdance.

In 1984, Carnes was nominated for a Best Pop Rock Performance (Female) Grammy Award for "Invisible Hands".
