Angel Band is an acoustic collection of gospel songs by Emmylou Harris, released on July 7, 1987. The album was recorded live "off the floor" featuring a band composed of Vince Gill (mandolin, vocals), Carl Jackson (guitar, vocals) and Emory Gordy Jr. (bass, vocals). Jerry Douglas (dobro) and Mark O'Connor (fiddle) were overdubbed on some tracks.

The album netted for Emmylou Harris another nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 30th Annual Grammy Awards with the award going to K.T. Oslin for "80s Ladies".
