Happy Woman Blues is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, released in 1980, by Smithsonian Folkways.

While her debut album, Ramblin' on My Mind (1979), consisted entirely of cover recordings, all of Happy Woman Blues was written solely by Williams. She also produced the album, alongside Mickey White. Supported by a six-member band, the songs are a mix of traditional and alternative country, folk, and blues that reflect her Louisiana roots.
