Country Preacher is a live album recorded by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet in 1969.

Recorded at an unidentified church meeting of the Chicago chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Operation Breadbasket,[2] the album spent two months in the Cash Box R&B charts in 1970.[3]

Described by discographer and Adderley biographer Chris Sheridan as "an audible sociological record",[2] the introduction is by the Reverend Jesse Jackson.[4] The liner notes, written by Adderley, give some background to Operation Breadbasket and the Country Preacher.

The album is the first with bassist Booker as a member of the Quintet.[2]

Adderley, in his introduction to the title track, makes a specific mention of fellow saxophonist Ben Branch, the director of the Operation Breadbasket Orchestra and Choir.[3]
