Seven Year Ache is the third studio album by American country music singer Rosanne Cash. It was produced by her then-husband Rodney Crowell and reached number one on the Billboard country album chart.[3] Three of its tracks were also number one in the U.S. country singles category: "Seven Year Ache" (which also crossed over to the U.S. pop top forty), "My Baby Thinks He's a Train" and "Blue Moon with Heartache".

The album was reissued on CD in 1984, 2002 and in 2005; the latter release received copy protection through Sony BMG's controversial XCP technology, one of the few country albums to use such technology.
