"Judith" was Judy Collins' best-selling album from 1975. It peaked at No 17 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.

It includes Collins' hit recording of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns", as well as material by Steve Goodman, Jimmy Webb, the Rolling Stones, and the standard "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"

Allmusic stated in their review: "Judith"'s high points are sublime, but the low points are just sorry enough to mark this as a turning point toward one of the less-distinguished periods of Collins' career."
