Morning Sun is the twenty second studio album released by American country artist Barbara Mandrell. The album was released in April 1990 on Capitol Records. It was Mandrell's second studio release for the Capitol label.

Morning Sun was recorded in June 1989 at the Groundstar Recording Lab and the Music Mill, both located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The album consisted of ten tracks of new material. The album's fifth track "Crazy Arms" was a cover version of the single by Ray Price. The song featured Price singing the song as a duet with Mandrell. The album also included the track "Do You Know Where Your Man Is", which country artist Pam Tillis would later record for her album, Homeward Looking Angel and would become a Top 20 single. The album's musical style is mainly formatted in a traditional country music style, with fiddles and steel guitars included on the background of the album. The album was originally released on a compact disc upon its release in 1990.

Morning Sun spawned three singles between 1989 and 1990. The lead single, "You Wouldn't Know Love (If It Looked You in the Eye)" was released in November 1989. The song failed to chart on the United States' Billboard Magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, but did peak at #81 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart in early March 1990. The single became Mandrell's final single to chart in Canada and any other singles chart. The album's second and third singles entitled "You've Become the Dream" and "The Nearness of You" were both released in 1990, but both failed to chart the Billboard and RPM country singles charts. The album itself was released in April 1990 and also failed to chart, not reaching Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
