The Speckless Sky is a 1985 album by Jane Siberry.

It was Siberry's highest-charting album on the Canadian charts, and contains her biggest Top 40 hit, "One More Colour." Rheostatics recorded a cover of that song, with additional lyrics by Martin Tielli, on their 1995 album Introducing Happiness; Siberry and Tielli recorded a duet, "A Long Time Love Song", on the 1991 Bruce Cockburn tribute album, Kick At the Darkness. After this album, Siberry's work was distributed outside of Canada by Reprise Records.
