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 re-released in a substantially remastered form (and released on SACD) in 2003 by Columbia Records. The newer edition removed many individually minor but cumulatively substantial track edits, so that the album is effectively available in two discrete forms.

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