Dierks Bentley is the debut studio album by American country music artist of the same name. It was released on August 19, 2003 by Capitol Records Nashville. It produced three singles with "What Was I Thinkin'", "My Last Name", and "How Am I Doin'". The first one became Bentley's first number one hit on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The album sold 1.1 million copies in the US.

The track "My Love Will Follow You" was originally recorded by Buddy Miller on his 1995 album Your Love and Other Lies. "Bartenders, Etc." and "Whiskey Tears" were originally featured on Bentley's independently released 2001 album Don't Leave Me in Love, and were re-recorded for this album.
