Why Not Me is the first full-length LP album by American country duo The Judds. It features their first Billboard Number One country single "Mama He's Crazy" from their previous mini-LP release The Judds: Wynonna & Naomi. The album spawned three more Number One singles: "Why Not Me", "Girls Night Out", and "Love Is Alive".

The album, itself a Number One seller, went on to sell over a million copies - a huge feat for a new female country act. The title track went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986, as did "Mama He's Crazy" in 1985.

As with every other Judds album, it was produced by Brent Maher and arranged by Don Potter.
