Dierks Bentley is the first major-label album of country music singer Dierks Bentley. It was released on August 19, 2003 via Capitol Records Nashville and produced three singles in "What Was I Thinkin'", "My Last Name", "How Am I Doin'". The first one serves as his debut single, and it also became his first Number One hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. The album sold 1.1 million copies in the US.

The track "My Love Will Follow You" was originally recorded by Buddy Miller on his 1995 album Your Love and Other Lies. "Bartenders, Etc." and "Whiskey Tears" were originally featured on Bentley's independently released 2001 album Don't Leave Me in Love, and were re-recorded for this album.
