August and Everything After is the first commercially-released album of the American rock band Counting Crows, released September 14, 1993.

The album cover depicts handwritten lyrics to a song called "August and Everything After", but the band decided against featuring the song on the album of the same name; it wasn't until over a decade later that it was played as part of one of their live concerts. A live performance of the song can be viewed here.

On September 18, 2007, a two-disc deluxe edition of the album was issued. The first disc contains the original album, remastered by Adam Ayan and Stephen Marcussen, with six songs (including three demos) added as bonus tracks. The second disc is taken from the band's last performance during the August tour, recorded at the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, France on December 9, 1994.
