Whoever's in New England is the 10th studio album of American country music artist Reba McEntire, released on February 10, 1986. It is her first #1 album on the Billboard country albums chart, producing two singles that were #1 country hits: "Whoever's in New England", and "Little Rock."

The album's phenomenal success proved to be a turning point in McEntire's career. It was the singer's first platinum record, and solidified her new superstardom when she was named the 'Entertainer of the Year' by the Country Music Association in autumn 1986.

The album also marked another milestone, McEntire made her first music video for the title track.[2] Eventually, McEntire would become known for her 'mini-movie'-styled music videos.
