Riders Radio Theater is a studio album by the Western band Riders in the Sky based on their radio program Riders Radio Theater. It was released in 1988 and it is available as a single CD.

It contains 18 digitally recorded selections. Like the radio program itself, the album includes cowboy music, musical skits, mock "Public Service Announcements", traffic reports, and commercials. It is, in part, a spoof the 1930s era Western singing cowboy serials.
