Third World Warrior is an album by Kris Kristofferson, released on Mercury Records in 1990 (see 1990 in music). It is a concept album composed of topical songs on politics, primarily expressing left-wing support. The album was commercially unsuccessful, due in part to Kristofferson's declining career as a singer and the release of The Highwaymen's second album, Highwayman 2, the week before.

Kristofferson expressed support for Nelson Mandela and the Sandinista National Liberation Front; not long prior to the album's release, Mandela was freed from prison and the Sandinistas were defeated in elections, transferring power to the National Opposition Union.

Recently, on the tribute CD The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson, Country singer Patty Griffin covers the controversial but melodic song Sandinista .
