"All Woman" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1991 album, Real Love. It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Devaney and Morris.

The song received favorable reviews from music critics. It was released as the second single on 9 December 1991 in the United Kingdom and in early 1992 in the rest of the world. The Nick Brandt-directed music video was also released. The song reached number twenty in the United Kingdom. In the United States, it peaked at number fifty-six on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number twenty-one on the Adult Contemporary Singles. The single's B-side included previously unreleased track, "Everything Will Get Better." The latter was remixed by Danny Tenaglia and reached number thirty-six on the Hot Dance Club Songs.

In 2003, "All Woman" was included on Biography: The Greatest Hits. In 2014, the remixes of "Everything Will Get Better" were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of Real Love (also on The Collection 1989–2003).
