Old Ways is a 1985 country music album by Canadian-American musician and singer-songwriter Neil Young, released on August 12, 1985, by Geffen Records. He recorded several songs at producer David Briggs' Nashville recording studio House of David with long-time collaborators Ben Keith, Tim Drummond, Karl T. Himmel, Spooner Oldham and Rufus Thibodeaux, in January 1983. Young went into Castle Recording Studios, Tennessee, in March 1985 with both the musicians from the earlier Harvest album and various local studio musicians, to complete the album. He duets with Waylon Jennings on "Bound for Glory", and with Willie Nelson on "Are There Any More Real Cowboys?".

It is the 15th studio album released by Young under his own name. His debut album was Buffalo Springfield in 1966 as part of Buffalo Springfield; his first solo album was Neil Young in 1968.
