Song for My Father is a 1965 album by the Horace Silver Quintet, released on the Blue Note label in 1965.

The album was inspired by a trip that Silver had made to Brazil.

"My mother was of Irish and Negro descent, my father of Portuguese origin," Silver recalls in the liner notes: "He was born on the island of Maio, one of the Cape Verde Islands.

AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey praised the album: One of Blue Note's greatest mainstream hard bop dates, Song for My Father is Horace Silver's signature LP and the peak of a discography already studded with classics...it hangs together remarkably well, and Silver's writing is at his tightest and catchiest.
