Waterbeds in Trinidad! (1972) is the seventh studio album (ninth album overall, counting a Greatest Hits collection and a live album) by The Association. This was the group's only release for Columbia Records and their last recorded project of the '70s.

It was also the last album to feature original bassist Brian Cole, who died that August. One final recording with Cole, the non-album track "Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels" written by Albert Hammond, was released as a single on the Mums label in 1973.

Waterbeds was the group's lowest charted album, reaching only #194 on the Billboard Top LPs list. However, it did reach #80 in Canada. Of the two singles released in conjunction with the album, The Association's rendition of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Darling Be Home Soon" bubbled under the Billboard top 100 chart at #104 and reached #64 in Canada.
