Blue Kentucky Girl is a 1965 studio album by American country singer-songwriter, Loretta Lynn.

The album was released on Decca Records in 1965 and was Lynn's third studio album of the year and her fourth solo album up to that point. The album's title track was the song's only single and peaked in the Top 10 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1965. The album released 12 studio tracks. Four of these tracks were written or co-written by Lynn herself or with another songwriter. Lynn's own compositions at the time were not released as singles yet until Lynn was given more control on what she could record on her albums. The album included cover versions of previous Country hits, Connie Smith's "Then and Only Then" and Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone". The album peaked at #14 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1965.
