Ocean Songs is the fourth major album by Australian rock band Dirty Three, released in March 1998 by Touch and Go Records. It was recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago during August and September 1997. Its cover was designed by guitarist Mick Turner. David Grubbs plays piano and harmonium on some tracks.

A special version was issued by their UK record label Bella Union in 2005, containing the original album and a live DVD.

In 2005, the entire album was performed live in London as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series. It was later performed in Barcelona, and in Mt. Buller, Australia and as part of the 2009 ATP New York Festival (curated by The Flaming Lips).
