The Coyote Sisters were an American pop-rock female trio formed in 1980. Its members were Leah Kunkel, the younger sister of Cass Elliot; Marty Gwinn Townsend; and Renée Armand. Originally signed to Geffen Records until 1982, they were signed to Morocco Records, a subsidiary of Motown and released their self-titled debut LP in 1984. Lead single "Straight from the Heart (Into Your Life)" hit No. 66 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and was a bigger hit on the Adult Contemporary radio stations. Subsequent singles and the album were less successful.

The first self-titled album was produced, recorded and mixed at David J. Holman Studio in Laurel Canyon.

In 2001, the group made an unexpected return to the music industry, this time as a duo without Armand, and released the album Women and Other Visions on Wannadate Records. Although Armand was no longer part of the group, she co-wrote one song on the album.

In 2003, they signed a distribution deal with BBN Music in cooperation with Wannadate Records to rerelease all of their previous work on CD and online.
