Bare Trees is the sixth studio album by British rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1972. This is their last album to feature Danny Kirwan, who was fired during the album's supporting tour. In the wake of the band's success in the mid-70s, Bare Trees peaked at No. 70 and achieved Gold status in 1976 and was later certified platinum for selling a million copies.

The album features the original version of "Sentimental Lady," which was later re-recorded by its composer Bob Welch (with Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham backing him) for his solo album French Kiss. "Spare Me a Little of Your Love" became a staple of the band's live act from 1972–77. "Spare Me a Little of Your Love" was also covered by Johnny Rivers on his studio album "New Lovers and Old Friends" in 1975, the same year that Fleetwood Mac broke through in the United States with their self-titled album.

"Arguably the first consistently strong album Fleetwood Mac ever recorded...1972's Bare Trees is also the album where the band finally defines its post-blues musical personality...a singer/songwriter album in the traditional early-'70s style, backed up with just enough musical muscle to keep from sounding like weedy soft rock in the manner of Bread or Cat Stevens...it shows that after five years of false starts and failed experiments, Fleetwood Mac were finally on their way." -Stewart Mason, allmusic.com
