My Kind of Country is a 1984 (see 1984 in music) country album by American singer Reba McEntire. Having recently switched from Mercury Records to MCA Records, McEntire began her most popular period of chart domination with this album. This reputation as one of the most reliable chart-toppers in country music continued until around 1995 (see 1995 in music).

My Kind of Country peaked at #13 on Billboard's (North America) Country Music Albums chart. Two tracks from the album rose to #1 on the Country Singles chart: "How Blue" and "Somebody Should Leave."

The track "It's Not Over (If I'm Not Over You)" was later recorded by Mark Chesnutt on two of his albums: as a solo recording on his 1992 album Longnecks & Short Stories, and again in 1997 on his album Thank God for Believers. The latter recording, which featured Alison Krauss and Vince Gill on backing vocals, was issued as a single in 1998.
