Green, Green Grass of Home is a 1967 album released by Tom Jones. His sixth overall album, it is his fourth studio album with Decca Records, produced by Peter Sullivan.

Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic notes with this album Jones "began to abandon his teenage pop audience to concentrate on a more mature, middle of the road group of listeners" but says the album is "inconsistent".
