John Wesley Harding is a folk rock album by Bob Dylan, produced by Bob Johnston and released on December 27, 1967 (see 1967 in music). The album is considered a return for Dylan to his folk and country roots, as opposed to the three previous albums. It is Dylan's eighth album and was recorded after he was involved in a motorcycle accident, which it appears caused him to re-evaluate his art.

It was a big success for Dylan, giving him a then-career high US peak of #2 and spent an incredible 13 weeks at #1 in the UK.

It was re-released in a substantially remastered form (and released on SACD) in 2003 by Columbia Records.

It is number 301 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
