Angels is a 1983 novel by American author Denis Johnson. It was Johnson's first novel; previously, he had published several books of poetry. Alice Hoffman, writing for the New York Times, referred to the novel as "a mixture of poetry and obscenity". A character from Angels, Bill Houston, also appears in Johnson's 2007 novel Tree of Smoke. In 1999, David Foster Wallace included the novel on his list of overlooked American books published after 1960.
