Stoney End is the twelfth studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand. Released in 1971 and produced by Richard Perry, it was a conscious change in direction for Streisand, having a more upbeat, contemporary pop/rock sound. It included cover versions of several songs by contemporary singer-songwriters, including Laura Nyro, Randy Newman and Joni Mitchell.

The album became one of the most successful of Streisand's career: it was certified “platinum” by the RIAA for sales exceeding 1 million copies in the United States alone. It also included three hit songs: "Stoney End", "Time and Love" and "Flim Flam Man". They appeared on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. The album peaked at #10 in the United States; it was the first of hers in five years to have reached the top 10.
