An upholstery needle is a needle used for upholstery. There is a variety of sizes, but they are usually thick and curved. The curved needle allows for repairs on finished items where only one side of the fabric is accessible.

Another type of needle used by upholsterers is the button needle, which is a very long needle used to install buttons with heavy twine through pillows, cushions and furniture backs.

An upholstery needle is also used by cosmetologists for the installation of hair weaves.
