Duets is a compilation album by Linda Ronstadt. It was released on the Rhino Records label in April 2014, ^[1] a few days before Ronstadt's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The album peaked at number 32 on the Billboard album chart - Ronstadt's highest charting album in 24 years. ^[2] The songs on the album were all previously released with the exception of "Pretty Bird", a duet with bluegrass singer Laurie Lewis. ^{[3] [4]} In his review for AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine states that "generally, this Duets emphasizes the sweeter, softer, and slower side of Ronstadt, a move that makes for pleasant listening". ^[3]
