The Dream Weaver is a hit solo album by Gary Wright and released in July 1975.

The album was said by Wright to be the first-ever all-synthesizer/keyboard album (though there were many all-synthesizer LPs before this, including Switched-On Bach by Wendy Carlos, in 1968). It features Wright on vocals and keyboards and Jim Keltner and Andy Newmark on drums. The only track to include any guitar was "Power of Love", which featured Wright's Warner Bros. labelmate Ronnie Montrose on electric guitar.

The album's success was a slow but steady accomplishment as the album eventually peaked at number 7 on Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart in the spring of 1976. The album's title cut and "Love Is Alive" both peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
