A Tribute to John Fahey is a tribute album to guitarist John Fahey released in 1979.[1][2] It is noteworthy in that, unlike subsequent Fahey tribute albums, it was recorded during his lifetime.

All the performers were then on Kicking Mule Records, a label co-founded by ED Denson, former Takoma Records co-founder and friend of Fahey.[1]
