鄉村音樂（Country music），又稱“鄉村與西部音樂（Country and Western music）”，是當代音樂的一種風格形式。其根源可追溯至上世紀20年代，起源于美國南部與阿帕拉契山區，人們公認田納西州納什維爾地區是鄉村音樂的故鄉，并建有專門的鄉村音樂博物館。此音樂風格于70年代在世界各地得以快速普及，受到廣大青年的歡迎。
鄉村音樂的曲調，一般都很流暢、動聽，曲式結構也比較簡單，多為歌謠體、二部曲式或三部曲式。
鄉村音樂出了兩位十分知名的暢銷歌手。一位是艾維斯·普利斯萊，人稱“貓王”，同時也是新音樂類型搖滾樂的代表人物。另一位是當代音樂家加思·布魯克斯（Garth Brooks），擁有超過兩億的全球專輯銷售量，是美國歷史上最暢銷的歌手。
