James Taylor: A Christmas Album is singer-songwriter James Taylor's first Christmas album. It was released on a limited-edition basis in 2004, with distribution through Hallmark Cards. Like most of the annual Hallmark Cards Christmas albums the album was retailed outside the normal Billboard chart system and so did not register on album charts. The albums were also not carried by all Hallmark Cards stockists.

The album originally came with an online code that could be used to download an outtake that was not on the CD, a cover of Joni Mitchell's River. In 2006 Taylor's regular label, Columbia Records, reissued the album with a new title (James Taylor at Christmas) and a revised track listing; "Deck the Halls" was omitted, with two other songs ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and the aforementioned cover of Joni Mitchell's "River") added.
