At Folsom Prison is a live album by Johnny Cash, recorded on January 13, 1968 at Folsom State Prison. Also on the album are June Carter, Carl Perkins, and Cash's band, the Tennessee Three. The final song, "Greystone Chapel ", was written by an inmate, Glen Sherley.

Listening to the album, Cash seems to empathize with the plight of the prisoners and the inmates for their part seem to have a great deal of respect for Cash and his works.

On the original LP release, the song order was changed and several songs were cut, probably for space reasons. The version released on CD in 2000 contains the entire concert uncut and in the original order.
