Slave bracelet may refer to:

Slave bracelets are a piece of jewelry associated with several cultures. The term refers to the hand adornment often worn by belly dancers or associated with harem jewelry. The slave bracelet or hand chain consists of a bracelet that attaches to a ring via a chain, bejeweled links, or other ornate hand connector along the back of the hand. They have been a popular accessory worn by members of the Gothic subculture as well as those of the BDSM community, specifically dominant–submissive couples as a symbol of ownership between master (BDSM) and slave (BDSM).
