"Touch the Hand" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Conway Twitty. It was released in August 1975 as the first single from the album The High Priest of Country Music. A ballad that became one of his 41 Billboard No. 1 songs (all but one of them on the Hot Country Singles chart), the song represented one half of a double-sided hit for Twitty in 1975. The other side was "Don't Cry Joni".

Initially, Twitty claimed to have written "Touch the Hand", but after Ron Peterson (twice president of the Nashville Songwriters Association)[1] filed a copyright infringement suit against the singer in Nashville on September 23, 1975, Peterson was properly credited.[2]
