Backless is the sixth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released in November 1978.

Produced by Glyn Johns, and released by RSO Records, Backless reached no.

The follow-up single, "Watch Out for Lucy", was the B-side of "Promises", but reached no.

It was Clapton's last studio album to feature his longtime bassist Carl Radle, who died in 1980.

The Globe and Mail noted that "there is none of the old spectacular playing—the emphasis is definitely on mellow funkiness—but the duet he plays on 'Roll It' with singer Marci Levy has some eloquent licks all the same.
