Brother's Keeper is the eighth album by American singer/songwriter Rich Mullins, released in 1995.

Mullins originally considered naming the album "Songs" to draw ironic contrast from the unusually long titles of his previous albums.[1] In a 1995 radio special, Mullins commented, "It's a real in-house kind of record. We didn't hire background singers; we had the wives of the guys sing for backgrounds...It was more of a family kind of project, which for me was a real blast."[1]

The artwork on the album cover was produced by Jimmy Abegg, a member of Mullins' band.
