Saints & Sinners is the fifth studio album by English hard rock band Whitesnake, released on 15 November 1982 by Liberty Records. It was the last album to be recorded by the Ready an' Willing line-up as the members relations had become strained about the musical direction and with the band's management, despite commercial successes in their native country. Guy Bidmead initially produced the album as Martin Birch's (who produced all of the past Whitesnake releases) replacement at first, but Birch did return to finish production, on the album.

Despite the band's troubles during the recording, the album peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was certified silver, the only silver certification in a string of gold or platinum-certified albums by the BPI. The album included the single "Here I Go Again", released in October 1982, that charted at number 34, but did not chart any of the singles charts in the United States. Eventually, it would resurface in 1987, with a new version that would characterise Whitesnake, in the future.
