"We're a Winner" is an album (and song) by the American soul music group The Impressions. The album was their last one released before they changed to the Curtom Records label.

Despite The Impressions' late sixties work being known for expressing the band's social and/or inspirational viewpoints, most of "We're a Winner's" tracks are love songs. The exceptions are the title track, "We're a Winner", and "Little Brown Boy".
