Pressure Sensitive is the debut album by American saxophonist Ronnie Laws released in 1975 by Blue Note. The album reached No. 25 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated:”This obviously commercial effort (every song fades out before it hits the five-minute mark) can only be recommended in comparison to Ronnie Laws’s later more inferior recordings.”
