Patchwork is the seventh and final studio album by American singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry, issued by Capitol Records on April 26, 1971. Gentry completely retired from the music industry after making a final television appearance in 1981, ten years after the album's release; although she did record another album in the late 1970s, it was not released.

In 2007, Australian label Raven Records released the album on CD for the first time, paired with 1970's Fancy. The album was also made available for digital download the same year.

The cover art for the album is an uncredited painting of Gentry. According to the liner notes for the 2004 compilation Chickasaw County Child: The Artistry of Bobbie Gentry, the painting is believed to have been done by Gentry herself.[3]
