乡村音乐(Country music)， 又称“乡村与西部音乐”
(Country and Western)，是当代音乐的一种风格形式。
其根源可追溯至上世纪20年代， 起源于美国南部与阿
帕拉契山区，人们公认田纳西州纳什维尔地区(Nashville, Tennessee)是乡村音乐的故乡，并建有专门的乡村音乐博物馆。此音乐风格于70年代在世界各地得以快速普及，受到广大青年的欢迎，并由“乡村音乐”逐步取代了“乡村与西部音乐”的称法。
乡村音乐的曲调，一般都很流畅、动听，曲式结构也比较简单，多为歌谣体、二部曲式或三部曲式。乡村音乐一般有八大主题：一、爱情；二、失恋；三、牛仔幽默；四、找乐；五、乡村生活方式；六、地区的骄傲；七、家庭；八、上帝与国家。
美国著名的乡村歌手包括约翰· 丹佛
(John Denver)、肯尼· 罗杰斯
(Kenny Rogers)、加思· 布鲁克斯
(Garth Brooks)等。
