Coming Apart is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Body/Head, a guitar duo composed of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace. It was released on September 10, 2013, on Matador Records. Recorded in Easthampton, Massachusetts in late 2012, Coming Apart features experimental noise rock arrangements alongside largely feminist-themed lyrics. The album features loose re-workings of the traditional folk song "Black Is the Colour (Of My True Love's Hair)", and "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" by Nina Simone.

Upon its release, Coming Apart received favorable reviews from music critics. Gordon's vocals and the album's minimal production were praised by critics, and Nace's guitar techniques and the album's free structure drew comparisons to earlier releases by Sonic Youth—of whom Gordon was a co-founder and a former member. Body/Head embarked on a U.S. tour in support of its release and were due to tour Europe in late 2013.
