"This Is My Country" is an album by the soul group The Impressions. The album was their first album released on Impressions member Curtis Mayfield's label Curtom Records originally in 1968.

Despite the Impressions late sixties work being known for their social or inspirational viewpoint such as the title track "This Is My Country" and "They Don't Know" the rest of the songs feature Mayfield's soul based love songs. This was their first album which had the Impressions harmonzing less than previous releases, and letting Mayfield take the main vocal point.
