Longbranch Pennywhistle is an early-in-genre country rock album by Longbranch Pennywhistle, a duo featuring the then-little-known Glenn Frey and John David Souther.{{cite web |url=http://www.troubadour.com/history/ |title=History (1970)|publisher=Troubadour |location=West Hollywood, USA |accessdate=2011-02-22}} It also contains strains of folk rock.{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/longbranch-pennywhistle-mw0000846437|title=Longbranch/Pennywhistle - Longbranch/Pennywhistle - Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic|accessdate=27 January 2019}} It was released in 1970; the duo split up shortly afterwards.

AllMusic's review of the album called it low-key and less commercial than the Eagles would be.

One of the album's songs, "Kite Woman", would resurface on Souther's 1972 debut solo album, John David Souther.
