"Wild West" is the name of a Country album by Dottie West, released in 1981.

This was one of Dottie West's best-selling albums as a solo artist. The album reached not only the No. 5 spot on the "Top Country Albums" chart, but also reached No. 126 on the "Billboard 200". This album was probably so successful because of the Kenny Rogers duet featured on this album, "What Are We Doin' In Love". The duet not only hit No. 1 on the Country charts, but also No. 14 on the Pop charts, giving West her biggest Pop hit. This album also featured West's second (and last) No. 1 hit as a solo artist ("Are You Happy Baby"). Another single spawned from this same album, titled "(I'm Gonna) Put You Back on the Rack", which reached the Top 20 on both the Billboard and Cashbox Country charts.

On the inside of the album, featured West wearing her infamous Spandex pants. This is one of West's best-known albums in all of her career.
