Dancer with Bruised Knees is a 1977 album by Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

Although not as well-received as their classic 1975 debut album, it is still considered a strong record, with several notable folk musicians on hand to contribute a bluegrass feel to many of the tracks. The album also includes three French songs, one by the McGarrigles with Philippe Tatartcheff, and two traditional numbers.

Guest musicians included John Cale, Dane Lanken, Bill Monroe, Dave Mattacks and Pat Donaldson.
