Back to the Country is the twenty-fourth studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on February 3, 1975, by MCA Records.

The album's only single, "The Pill", a controversial song about birth control, brought Lynn much notoriety in the media and was banned on a number of radio stations, although the single was reportedly Lynn's best selling of the decade.

The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The only single released from the album, "The Pill", peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, despite being banned by a number of radio stations.

Recording sessions for the album began on August 29, 1974, at Bradley's Barn in Mount Juliet, TN. Three additional sessions followed on December 17, December 18, and December 19, 1974. Three songs on the album were from recording sessions for previous albums. "The Pill" and "The Hands of Yesterday" were recorded during the December 12, 1972 session for 1973's Entertainer of the Year. "Paper Roses" was recorded on March 4, 1974, during a session for 1974's They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy.
