"There Is Only One Roy Orbison" is the first album recorded by Roy Orbison for MGM Records. The album was released in July 1965.

The album features Orbison's first studio recording of "Claudette", an Oribison-penned song which had become a hit for The Everly Brothers in 1958. Ironically, at the time Orbison recorded the song in 1965, he had divorced his wife Claudette who had inspired the lyrics. (They were later reconciled in 1966, before her death in a motorcycle accident.)
