Little Lies is a song written by Christine McVie and Eddy Quintela and recorded by McVie with Fleetwood Mac for their 1987 album Tango in the Night. McVie sings lead in the verses. The chorus is sung in harmony with brief vocal solos from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Released as the third single from the album, it reached the Top 30 in several countries. It peaked at #5 in the United Kingdom, McVie's first top ten hit as a vocalist/composer in her home country and her first top twenty hit as a vocalist since Chicken Shack's cover of I'd Rather Go Blind in 1969.

The b-side was the non-album track Ricky, a Christine McVie/Lindsey Buckingham co-composition.
