"This Woman" is a song written by Barry Gibb and Albhy Galuten and was performed by American country recording artist Kenny Rogers. It reached No. 2 in the US Adult Contemporary Chart and No. 23 in the US Pop Chart.[1] It was published by Gibb Brothers Music and Unichappell Music.[2]

RCA pushed "This Woman" to pop radio, but the country stations flipped to the song's B-side "Buried Treasure".[3] In Germany, "This Woman"'s B-side was "Hold Me", another track from the album.[4] This song was recorded in May 1983 released in late 1983 in the US, and early 1984 outside the US.
