'"Hold Me"' is a ballad duet performed by American singers Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston. The song appears on Pendergrass's eighth studio album 'Love Language' (1984) and Houston's first studio album 'Whitney Houston' (1985). It was written by Linda Creed and Michael Masser, with production overseen by Masser. "Hold Me" was the first ever single release of Houston's career when it was released as a single from Pendergrass's album in 1984.

In the US, the song became a top five hit on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 46 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 in 1984. It was a top thirty hit in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the Flemish region of Belgium. Ron Wynn of AllMusic highlighted this song on 'Love Language' and he called it a good duet. With this song being distributed in 1984, Houston was ineligible for the nomination of Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985, when her own album was released.
