Warm Leatherette (1980) is an album by Grace Jones. The album features contributions from the reggae production duo Sly and Robbie and is a departure from Jones' earlier disco sound, moving towards a new wave-reggae direction.

The album included covers of the Normal, the Pretenders, Roxy Music, Smokey Robinson, Tom Petty and Jacques Higelin.

After the commercial success of Nightclubbing Island Records re-released the Warm Leatherette album with new artwork, replacing Jean-Paul Goude's original black-and-white studio portrait with pictures of Grace in performance taken from her groundbreaking 1981/82 tour A One Man Show.
