You've Got a Friend is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on August 11, 1971, by Columbia Records.

This was a common practice of many vocalists of the period, so much so in fact that fellow Columbia artist Andy Williams also released an album titled You've Got a Friend in August 1971 on which he coincidentally covers seven of the 11 tracks that Mathis recorded for this album.
