Here's Loretta Lynn is a compilation album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on April 29, 1968 by Vocalion Records, the same day as Lynn's album Fist City.

The album features recordings Lynn made for Zero Records in 1960, prior to signing with Decca Records. The only songs Lynn recorded for Zero Records that are not included on this album are "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl", her debut single, and "Darlin' Don't", which remains unreleased.

The review in the May 4, 1968 issue of Billboard said the album is "A must have for all Loretta Lynn fans—a collection of her early material before she actually joined Decca Records. It's amazing how good she was, even then! You'll enjoy "The Darkest Day" and "Blue Steel"." In a review for AllMusic.com, Eugene Chadbourne said of the album, "The songs are really very good, rich with detail and, needless to say, convincing in emotion."

All tracks written by Loretta Lynn.
