Neither One of Us is an album recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips, released in early 1973 (see 1973 in music) by Motown Records on the Soul Records label.

The label released the album shortly after the group left the label for Buddah Records while the title track was rising up the charts. Motown issued another single, "Daddy Could Swear, I Declare", in April of the year. By that point, the group had released their first Buddah release, "Where Peaceful Waters Flow".

Following the success of this album and the group's commercial acclaim at Buddah, Motown released three more albums of unreleased material.
