Bluebird — студийный альбом американской певицы Эммилу Харрис, выпущенный рекорд-лейблом Warner Bros. Records в 1989 году. Пластинка достигла строчки № 15 в Top Country Albums, а два наиболее успешных сингла — «Heartbreak Hill» и «Heaven Only Knows» — вошли соответственно в Топ-10 и Топ-20 Hot Country Songs. Концептуально работа следовала фирменным рецептам певицы, сочетая кантри-рок, редкие авторские песни и кантри-стандарты. В 2004 году альбом вновь привлёк внимание публики, когда песня «Heaven Only Knows» прозвучала в телесериале «Клан Сопрано».
