"My Sweet Lord" adalah lagu karya George Harrison, dirilis pada November 1970 di album rangkap tiganya All Things Must Pass. Lagu ini juga dirilis sebagai single pertama Harrison sebagai penyanyi solo, dan menduduki puncak tangga lagu di seluruh dunia; juga menyandang sebagai single terlaris tahun 1971 di Inggris. Di Amerika dan Inggris, lagu tersebut menjadi single nomor satu pertama karya mantan penggawa Beatle. Harrison awalnya memberikan lagu itu kepada sesama artis Apple Records Billy Preston untuk direkam; versi dari Billy, yang diproduseri bersama Harrison, muncul di album Encouraging Words Preston pada bulan September 1970.[1] Rekaman ini menampilkan perawatan Wall of Sound produser Phil Spector dan menandai kedatangan teknik slide guitar dari Harrison, yang digambarkan oleh seorang penulis biografi sebagai "tanda tangan yang secara musikal sama khasnya dengan tanda Zorro". Preston, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton dan Badfinger adalah beberapa musisi lain dalam rekaman tersebut.
Harrison menampilkan "My Sweet Lord" di Konser untuk Bangladesh pada Agustus 1971, dan tetap menjadi komposisi paling populer dari karier pasca-Beatles. Dia mengolahnya kembali sebagai "My Sweet Lord (2000)" untuk dimasukkan sebagai trek bonus pada ulang tahun ke-30 dari All Things Must Pass. Banyak artis telah mengcover lagu tersebut, termasuk Andy Williams, Peggy Lee, Edwin Starr, Johnny Mathis, Nina Simone, Julio Iglesias, Richie Havens, Megadeth, Boy George, Elton John, Jim James, Bonnie Bramlett dan Elliott Smith. "My Sweet Lord" menduduki peringkat ke-454 pada daftar 500 lagu terbaik sepanjang masa menurut Rolling Stone pada tahun 2004 dan nomor 270 pada daftar serupa yang diterbitkan oleh NME pada tahun 2014. Pada tahun yang sama, "My Sweet Lord" dilantik ke dalam Grammy Hall of Fame. Lalu mencapai nomor satu di Inggris lagi ketika dirilis ulang pada Januari 2002, dua bulan setelah kematian Harrison.
