"An Angel" is a song by European-American pop group The Kelly Family. It was produced by Kathy Kelly and Hartmut Pfannmüller for their eighth regular studio album Over the Hump (1994) and features lead vocals by Angelo and Paddy Kelly. Paddy wrote the song for his mother, Barbara Kelly, who died in 1982 from breast cancer. He wrote it on the family's boat, Santa Barbara.

In 2006, the song was also covered by English singer Declan Galbraith and served as the first single and opening track from his second album Thank You (2006). In 2017, The Kelly Family re-recorded the song for their We Got Love (2017). Other remakes were also recorded by Silbermond lead singer Stefanie Kloß for the compilation album Sing meinen Song – Das Tauschkonzert Vol 4 (2017) and by Gregor Meyle for his album Meylensteine Vol 1 (2015).
