Hurry Sundown is the third album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1977. The title track became a concert staple and fan favorite. Four members of the band, Hughie Thomasson, Henry Paul, Billy Jones, and Harvey Dalton Arnold (who replaced Frank O'Keefe on bass) contributed songwriting and lead vocals. Paul would leave the band after the album's release.

With this album, the Outlaws dived even deeper into a country sound. Thomasson plays pedal steel on some tracks, and banjo on the bluegrass track "So Afraid".
