Del Doc & Mac (the cover actually prints the names and photos in a somewhat convoluted manner, hence most discographies use the alphabetical listing) is the title of a recording by American folk music artists Doc Watson, Del McCoury and Mac Wiseman, released in 1998.

All three artists are well-known bluegrass musicians. Watson's long career in folk, blues and bluegrass has earned him numerous awards, amongst them seven Grammy Awards as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. McCoury's Del McCoury Band is a Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band. Wiseman has been inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor and the Country Music Hall of Fame (2014).

Guests on Del Doc & Mac include Jerry Douglas on dobro and Alison Krauss on harmony vocals.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jana Pendragon wrote of the album "... this is a treasure created by three of very recognizable voices from the world of bluegrass music. And these Groovegrass Boyz never sounded better!... Emotionally satisfying, this is a special project within the scope of traditional American music." Allen Price highly praised the album, calling it "carved out a little piece of musical heaven."
