The Elementary Doctor Watson! is the title of a studio album by American country music artists Doc Watson and Merle Watson, released in 1972.
The Elementary Doctor Watson! is Watson's first album after leaving the Vanguard Records label for Poppy Records (Poppy Records' founder Kevin Eggers started Tomato Records later and published many of the Poppy Records catalogue as CDs). It was also the first of three successive Watson albums to be produced by Jack Clement. The next two would win Grammy awards.
The cover art was created by one of Poppy Records' favoured artists, Milton Glaser, who also employed his font "Glaser Stencil" on the album's back cover.
Doc dedicated the song "Treasures Untold" to his wife Rosa Lee.
Sugar Hill records re-issued The Elementary Doctor Watson! on CD with four bonus tracks.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jim Smith wrote of the album "... this is a great Sunday morning record, a genuine pleasure from start to finish."
