Cowboy's Sweetheart is the name of a studio album, released by legendary Country music singer, Lynn Anderson in 1992.

Lynn Anderson had just finished a long and lucrative career in the Country music business, releasing and promoting albums and singles for the public. She finished up her last album in 1988 with What She Does Best, and a final single from the album titled, "How Many Hearts". This was her first album in four years, with all new material. The album has a more Western music theme this time, with songs reflecting this theme. The title Cowboy's Sweetheart even fits Anderson's own profile being she used to be a professional equestrian horseracer, and also races horses during her time spent away from the music business.

Song included on this album might be new songs for Anderson to record, but a lot of these songs are actually cover versions, including her own Top 30 hit from 1980, "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues", as well Patsy Montana's 1935 classic Western hit, "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart", and Slim Whitman's "Red River Valley". Pop songs that have a Western theme are also included here, like Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind" (a duet with Emmylou Harris) and even Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In".
