From the Witchwood is the third album by the English band Strawbs. It was recorded at Air Studios in London during February and March 1971 and reached number 39 in the UK Albums Chart on 17 July 1971.[3]

It is the third and final album to include Rick Wakeman as an official band member, including his appearance as a session musician on the 1970 album Dragonfly. He would eventually return to help the band as a session musician on the 1975 album Nomadness, on which he played on one track. The sleeve illustration was "The Vision of St. Jerome", a tapestry from the Spanish royal collection.
