29 is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, released on December 19, 2005, by Lost Highway Records. Produced by Ethan Johns, and recorded prior to the formation of backing band The Cardinals, the album was the last of three released in 2005. Session guitarist JP Bowersock would later go on to join the Cardinals, subsequently recording Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights alongside Adams. The album's cover art was drawn by Adams.

The album has sold 81,000 copies in the United States and 153,000 worldwide. In November 2009, the album was number 54 on a list of "The 100 best pop albums of the Noughties" by The Times music critics.
