Blue Afternoon is the fourth studio album by Tim Buckley, released in November 1969.

The album used the same group of musicians as Happy Sad (1969) with the addition of drummer Jimmy Madison.

[3] Several tracks on Blue Afternoon are songs Buckley had intended to record on earlier albums but had not completed.

"Chase the Blues Away" and "Happy Time" are numbers he had worked on in the summer of 1968 for possible inclusion on Happy Sad and demos can be heard on the Rhino label's Works in Progress album.

Blue Afternoon, like Starsailor, was re-released as a stand-alone album on CD format only once in the United States, in 1989 on the Enigma Retro label.
