Let There Be Country is the seventh studio album by country singer Marty Stuart, released in 1992, though it was technically the fourth album he recorded, cut between Marty Stuart and Hillbilly Rock.

Let There Be Country was recorded in 1987,[2][3][4] but Columbia Records refused to release it. When Stuart later gained a larger following and became increasingly popular after the releases of Hillbilly Rock and Tempted under MCA Records, Columbia then saw fit to release this album in 1992.

The track "I'll Love You Forever (If I Want To)" was later recorded as "Don't Tell Me What to Do" by Pam Tillis on her 1991 album Put Yourself in My Place.[5]
