Dirt, Silver and Gold is a 1976 compilation album by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that contains some of the band's greatest material to that point. It also includes 12 songs not previously available. It was originally released as a three LP album, and was released in 2003 as a two compact disc set by BGO Records.

The original release reached 77 on the US Charts and 28 on the US Country Charts.

The album's outer cover opens up to a picture of an elaborately painted safe door from the Ute City Banque in Aspen, Colorado. The original album had a four foot by two foot poster of the safe. The inside cover has pictures of the band in its three incarnations to that point, 1966–67, 1968–69 and 1970–76. The inner sleeves also had artwork. One side has tools for mining gold and a 45 record with a mountain on the label. The other side had a poster for the Society Of California Pioneers. The liner notes were written over these images on two of the sleeves.
