Feathers is the fourth album by the Washington, D.C. based psychedelic rock trio Dead Meadow, released in 2005 by Matador Records on CD and LP. The band is joined on the album by additional guitar player Cory Shane.

Pitchfork praised the record and the band's ability to "venture further outside their 60s influences to create a spacious, hypnotic album that distinguishes them from their stoner- and psych-rock contemporaries."

In 2019 the album was reissued on CD and LP by Tekeli-li Records, and accompanied by a bonus CD featuring alternate takes, unreleased tracks and instrumental demos.^{[2] [3]}
