Old Dan's Records is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's 9th original album, released in 1972 on the Reprise Records label. The album peaked at #95 on the pop chart.

The album marks a continued evolving of Lightfoot's sound as he begins to add country influences to his standard folk sound with the help of the banjo, dobro and steel guitar. Lightfoot would continue to use these country influences in his music until the early 1980's.
