Lloyd Maines (born June 28, 1951) is a country music musician and producer who was born and raised in Lubbock, Texas and is now based in Austin, Texas.

Perhaps best known as a pedal steel player, Maines is a multi-instrumentalist who has also performed and/or recorded playing dobro, electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo and bell tree. He toured and recorded as a member of the Joe Ely Band and has also played with Guy Clark, Butch Hancock, Terry Allen, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and other Texas musicians. Maines was a member of The Maines Brothers Band in the late 1970s and early 1980s and has contributed to alt-country releases, including Uncle Tupelo's "Anodyne" and Wilco's debut, "A.M.". In 2005, he played steel and dobro on Jake Kellen's album "Take Me Home".

He is also a record producer, starting with Terry Allen's seminal 1979 album, "LUBBOCK (on everything)". [ [http://www.takecountryback.com/features/lloydmaines.htm Takecountryback.com] ] He has produced and worked on recording projects with numerous artists, including Butch Hancock, Jerry Jeff Walker, Charlie Robison, the Lost Gonzo Band, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Wayne Hancock, Owen Temple, Robert Earl Keen, Terri Hendrix, Pat Green, Roger Creager, Two Tons of Steel, and The Waybacks.

Maines won a Grammy Award for Best Country Album in 2003 as producer of the Dixie Chicks' "Home". He is the father of Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks. He was instrumental in the start of the Chicks' sudden jump in popularity in the late 1990s, recommending his daughter to the band, and bringing them as well Susan Gibson's "Wide Open Spaces", which would become their early signature song.
