Mercy is the first solo album by Steve Jones, formerly of the Sex Pistols. Released in 1987, the album was mainly produced by Bob Rose, with Jones co-producing and Paul Lani producing one track. The recording line-up consisted of Jones on vocals, guitar and bass, keyboardists Bob Rose and Kevin Savigar, and drummers Mickey Curry and Jim Keltner.

The album's single "Mercy" was used in the Miami Vice episode "Stone's War" and was also featured on the Miami Vice II soundtrack album. The song "With You or Without You" was used on the soundtrack for Jonathan Demme's 1986 film Something Wild. The track "Raining in My Heart" was originally recorded as "When Dreaming Fails", a 1985 demo with Iggy Pop recorded at Olivier Ferrand's home studio in Hancock Park, Los Angeles.
