Fancy Free is the fifth country studio album by the Oak Ridge Boys, released on March 26, 1981. It featured their biggest hit "Elvira". "Somewhere in the Night" was covered by Sawyer Brown in 1987 from their album of the same name. The title of the album was suggested by longtime Oak Ridge Boys personal assistant Charles Daunis, and he is thanked for this contribution in the liner notes.

The album is certified double platinum by the RIAA. It was also one of the first albums ever to achieve multi-platinum certification in the US, achieving the certification on October 12, 1984. It also became the band's first album to reach number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
