The Hands of Man is singer/songwriter Chris de Burgh's twentieth original album, released in 2014.

De Burgh announced during his Live in Concert 2013 tour that he had completed work on his 20th studio album, entitled "The Hands of Man". Briefly describing the title, de Burgh explained that "hands can perform miracles, they can save lives and end lives". The album uses this concept as a basis for the themes of the album's songs. Following this introduction, de Burgh went on to play the unreleased "The Fields of Agincourt", a song which takes inspiration from the 15th century Battle of Agincourt, between the English & French.

The album was released on 26 September 2014 in mainland Europe.^[1] It peaked at number 8 in the German album chart,^[2] and reached number 71 in the UK Albums Chart.^[3]
