Here We Rest is the third studio album by American musician Jason Isbell, and the second to be credited to Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit. It was released on April 12, 2011. A remixed and remastered version was released on October 18, 2019, with Dave Cobb handling the remix and Pete Lyman doing the remaster.

The album received generally favorable reviews, with a Metacritic score of 76. Critics praised its portrayal of struggling Southern towns and its mix of folk, country, and bar-band rock, noting both its bittersweet mood and resilience. Some reviewers also remarked that Isbell’s voice sounded smoother and older, while one felt the voice and band were slightly too understated to make the album feel truly impressive.

Notable moments include "Go It Alone," which was used in Sons of Anarchy season 4, episode "Booster," and "Alabama Pines," which won Song of the Year at the 2012 Americana Music Awards.
