"40-Hour Week" is the sixth studio album from country music band Alabama. Released in 1985, the album featured three songs that topped the "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles chart and continued the band's dominance during the 1980s.

Two of the No. 1 tracks — "There's No Way" and the title track — became milestones in Alabama's recording career during 1985. When it reached the top of the chart in "There's No Way" on May 4, it became Alabama's 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases (excepting for the 1982 Christmas single "Christmas in Dixie"). The feat allowed Alabama to tie Sonny James' 14-year-old record for most No. 1 songs in as many consecutive single releases. Then, on August 3, "40 Hour Week (For a Livin')" topped the chart, becoming Alabama's 17th-straight chart topper and allowing them to surpass James' record.

Among the album tracks, several of them praising the South, "40 Hour Week" also features the ballad "I Want To Know You Before We Make Love," which would become a major hit for Conway Twitty in 1987.
