Winter Wheat is the second solo album by John K. Samson, released on October 21, 2016, via ANTI-. It is his first album of new material since The Weakerthans went on hiatus in 2015.

The album was produced by Samson's Weakerthans bandmate Jason Tait and Christine Fellows, and also features contributions from his Weakerthans bandmate Greg Smith. In an interview with The A.V. Club, Samson described the album as feeling in some ways like a new Weakerthans album rather than a solo project.

The album was a longlisted nominee for the 2017 Polaris Music Prize.
