Aesop's Fables: The Smothers Brothers Way is the seventh comedy album by the Smothers Brothers (released March 15, 1965, on Mercury Records). It reached number 57 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Seven of Aesop's more famous stories and morals are related in this album (or what are intended to be his fables but are often overshadowed by the bickering of the two brothers). The songs were written by John McCarthy.

The physical album has long been out of print, but is currently available in digital stores such as iTunes and Amazon Music. However, on the first track ("Overture – Aesop's Fables Our Way"), approximately 47 seconds of the beginning are missing for unknown reasons
