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。 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。
