Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Emmylou Harris, released in 1978. The album reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts, with three charting singles: "To Daddy" (written by Dolly Parton) at No. 3, "Two More Bottles of Wine" at No. 1 (the third No. 1 of Harris' career), and "Easy From Now On" (co-written by Carlene Carter, and Susanna Clark and the song from which the album's title comes) at No. 12. Also featured are "One Paper Kid", a duet with Willie Nelson, "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight", which the Oak Ridge Boys would reach No. 1 with in 1980 and "I Ain't Living Long Like This", which Waylon Jennings would reach No. 1 with in 1980 as well. The painting used for the album cover is by Susanna Clark.
At the 21st Annual Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance but the award went to Dolly Parton for Here You Come Again.
