The Carpenter is the seventh studio album by folk rock group the Avett Brothers. The album was produced by Rick Rubin, who'd produced their previous full-length studio album, I and Love and You.

The album was listed at #41 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying, " The palette ranges from Nineties grunge to wintry front-porch lamentation to Beatles bounce, tied together by a sweet Southern-bro sentimentality."
