Desertshore is the name of the third solo avante-garde album with neoclassical elements, recorded and released by Nico in 1970. It was co-produced by John Cale and Joe Boyd.

The back and front covers feature stills from the film La cicatrice interieure by Philippe Garrel, which starred Nico, Garrel and Ari Boulogne. A few of the songs from the album were included on the soundtrack of the film.
