"Space Wrangler" is the first studio album by the Athens, GA based band Widespread Panic. It was first released by a small Atlanta label, [http://www.landsliderecords.com Landslide Records] , on February 4 1988. It was later reissued three times, the first two times by Capricorn Records/Warner Bros. Records, and, in 2001, by Zomba Music Group.

The reissues featured three extra tracks not found on the original release. "Holden Oversoul" and "Contentment Blues" were both from a John Keane Studio session in September 1990. "Me and The Devil Blues / Heaven" was taken from sessions that would result in the Widespread Panic album.

Space Wrangler has been released on vinyl, cassette, and CD.
