"Winter Light" is a 1993 album by American singer Linda Ronstadt.

It was Ronstadt's first album since "Don't Cry Now" not produced with Peter Asher. She elected to produce it along with George Massenburg. The album marked Ronstadt's increased responsibilities and confidence behind the boards, achieving the multi-layered New Age-oriented sound, as in Anna McGarriagle's "Hearbeats Accelerating" and Brian Wilson's "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)".

Other aspects of the album show Ronstadt paying tribute to the great female vocalist of the sixties with a combination of rock n roll oldies, rock ballads. She also elected to choose classic compositions from various songwriters such as Burt Bacharach, Carole King, Jimmy Webb and contemporary ones such as Tish Hinojosa. The album also showcased Ronstadt the singer-songwriter and music arranger, introducing her own composition "Winter Light."

Considered one of Ronstadt's most underrated and highly acclaimed recordings. Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 4 (out of a possible 5) stars. However, it had disappointing sales, moving only around 200,000 copies in the US and is presently out of print. Also included is the Spanish language folk-song "Adonde Voy."
