Classic Christmas is a Christmas album and 65th overall album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1980 (see 1980 in music). Unlike The Christmas Spirit or Family Christmas, none of the songs are originals; all are traditional Christmas songs. It is the third full-length Christmas album by Cash. A fourth one was recorded and released in 1991 for the Delta Music label featuring rerecordings of most of the songs on Classic Christmas.
