Country for Old Men is an album by American guitarist John Scofield. It earned Scofield a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.

The album features jazz versions of country music songs. The title was borrowed from the novel No Country for Old Men (2005) by Cormac McCarthy which was adapted into a 2007 film, and also jokes about Scofield's age (he was 64 when the album was recorded; his longtime bassist Steve Swallow was 76).
