A Perfect Match is a 1972 duet album released by American country music singers, David Houston and Barbara Mandrell.

This was the first duet album Mandrell recorded and would be one of two she would release during her career. Houston had already experienced success the previous decade, with his #1 country hit "Almost Persuaded". Mandrell, on the other hand, was a newcomer, having released her debut album in 1971.

This album spawned two singles, both of them major hits on the country charts. The first, "After Closing Time", reached the Top 10, peaking at #6. The second, "I Love You, I Love You", was released the following year under Epic Records, and also peaked at #6. A Perfect Match was not as successful as those two singles, peaking at #38 on the Top Country Albums chart in 1972. Besides the two singles, the album included a duet re-recording of Houston's "Almost Persuaded".
