Treat Him Right is the name of a debut album by American country music singer, Barbara Mandrell released in 1971.

Mandrell was signed to the Columbia records label in 1969, and released her debut single, Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" the same year. It only peaked at #55 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. This was one of three other singles released from Mandrell's debut album, all of which became Top 20 hits on Country radio between 1970 and 1971; "Playing Around With Love" (#18), "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" (#17), and the title track (#12). This album also peaked at #44 on the Top Country Albums chart in 1971. Although the album did not sell like Mandrell's later records did, it set the stage for Mandrell's future albums to come.
