Windsong is the ninth studio album recorded by American singer-songwriter John Denver, which was released in September 1975. Denver's popularity was at its peak by this time.

The album contained the songs "I'm Sorry" and "Calypso," which comprised a two-sided hit for Denver in the fall of 1975. "Looking for Space" was dedicated to Werner Erhard, "Two Shots" to Michael P. Shore, "Fly Away", featuring the backup vocals from Olivia Newton-John, and "Calypso" to Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau and all those who served on his ship, Calypso.
