In the Wind is the third album by the American folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary, released in October 1963, a few months before the arrival of the Beatles heralded the British Invasion. It was reissued on audio CD in 1990.

The lead-off single of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" sold 300,000 copies in the first week of release. On July 13, 1963, it reached number two on the Billboard pop chart, with sales exceeding one million copies.Sounes, Down The Highway: The Life Of Bob Dylan, p.135 {{ISBN|978-0802116864}} It spent five weeks atop the easy listening chart. The second single from the album, "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right", another song by Dylan, peaked at number 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and number 9 on the Pop Singles chart.

At the Grammy Awards of 1964, their recording of "Blowin' in the Wind" won the Best Folk Recording and Best Performance by a Vocal Group.{{Cite web|url=http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1964-216.html |title=Grammy Award Nominees 1964 – Grammy Award Winners 1964 |website=Awardsandshows.com |access-date=10 August 2019 }}
