Always Drink Upstream from the Herd is a studio recording by the Western band Riders in the Sky, released in 1995.

The album's title comes from the line with which the quartet regularly closes its concerts; the advice is a warning that the herd of livestock using the same stream may also relieve themselves in said stream.
