Revolution Summer is a soundtrack album by Jonathan Richman, released by the Vapor Records label in 2007. The music was composed for the film Revolution Summer, directed by Miles Matthew Montalbano.

While Richman had previously contributed songs to the 1998 film, There's Something About Mary, and appeared in that film, along with drummer Tommy Larkins, Revolution Summer is Richman's first complete soundtrack album. It is entirely instrumental, another first for Richman.
