Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys is the 12th studio album and first tribute album by American country band Asleep at the Wheel. Recorded at studios in Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, it was produced by the band's frontman Ray Benson and released on October 25, 1993, by Liberty Records. The collection features recordings of songs made popular by Western swing group Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, a major influence on Asleep at the Wheel.

Asleep at the Wheel recorded many Wills songs for its previous studio albums starting with its 1973 debut Comin' Right at Ya, but Tribute... marks the first full album dedicated to his music. The release would be followed by two more tributes: Ride with Bob: A Tribute to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys in 1999 and Still the King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 2015. The 1993 album is the band's first to feature steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar and bassist David Miller.

Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys was a critical and commercial success. The album reached number 159 on the US Billboard 200, the band's highest position since Texas Gold in 1975, as well as number 26 on the Top Country Albums chart. Media response was overwhelmingly positive and the album won two Grammy Awards, for Best Country Instrumental Performance (for "Red Wing") and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal ("Blues for Dixie")
