Tanglewood Numbers is the fifth full-length album by Silver Jews, released in 2005.

Like on all of their other albums Silver Jews' principal song writer and constant band member is David Berman. On this album fourteen other musicians are involved in the performance and creation. Recurring band member Stephen Malkmus continues on from the previous album Bright Flight and Bob Nastanovich returns after appearance on Silver Jews' first full-length album Starlite Walker. Cassie Berman, wife of David Berman, also appears.

The lyrics of the final song, "There Is A Place," reference a song intended at one point for inclusion on the Silver Jews' fourth album, "American Water". According to an article in Addicted To Noise, a song called "Police Conversation, 1783" was among the tracks in the running for that album. [1]
