The Last of the True Believers is the fourth album by Nanci Griffith, released in 1986 by Philo Records. The acclaim accorded her from her previous album, Once in a Very Blue Moon, and this album earned her a contract with a major recording company. Here, Griffith continued her turn toward a more country-oriented work than her first two albums, which were primarily folk-sounding. It also includes two songs which were later hits for Kathy Mattea, "Love at the Five and Dime" from Walk the Way the Wind Blows (1986) and "Goin' Gone", her first number one, from Untasted Honey (1987).

The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards.
