Lovers, Friends and Strangers is the seventh studio album released by American country music singer, Barbara Mandrell, released in May 1977.

Mandrell's success was beginning to build with the release of this album. Lead-off single "Married, But Not to Each Other", which originally appeared on 1976's Midnight Angel, was Mandrell's biggest hit yet on the Billboard Country charts, peaking at #3. The second single ("Hold Me") was not a Top 10 hit, but instead peaked at #12. The album peaked only at #26 on the Top Country Albums chart. Besides the two singles, a cover version of "After the Lovin'" was included, which exemplified the type of songs Mandrell was recording at the time. This track was also nominated for a Grammy the following year for Best Female Performance - Country. Like many of her following albums, Lovers, Friends, & Strangers consisted of 10 tracks, instead of 11 like on her previous two releases, This Is Barbara Mandrell and Midnight Angel.
