Fifth Album is the fourth studio album (her 5th overall release) by American singer and songwriter Judy Collins, released by Elektra Records in 1965. It peaked at No. 69 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.[4]

The album featured a collection of traditional ballads and singer-songwriter material from Bob Dylan, Richard Fariña, Phil Ochs and Malvina Reynolds. A number of the songs were topical in nature, particularly Ochs' "In the Heat of the Summer" (which chronicled the Harlem riot of 1964), and Reynolds' "It Isn't Nice".
