Many a Mile is Buffy Sainte-Marie's second album, released in 1965.

Though originally released on Vanguard Records, it was never reissued on CD when the rest of Sainte-Marie's catalog for that label came out in the late 1990s. The only CD issues of Many a Mile has been an Italian issues via Fontana and is now long out of print and extremely expensive if it can be found.

The album contained a larger proportion of traditional material than her debut, including a number of Child ballads. The most famous song here is "Until It's Time for You to Go", which has been covered by Cher, Neil Diamond, Shirley Bassey, Françoise Hardy and Elvis Presley. "Groundhog" shows Sainte-Marie playing her unique mouthbow. The song "The Piney Wood Hills" was later re-recorded for I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again three years later.
