Vagabonds of the Western World is the third studio album by Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy, released in 1973. It was the band's last album with original guitarist Eric Bell and the first to feature the artwork of Jim Fitzpatrick, whose work would appear on many subsequent albums by the band.

Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic described the album as "brimming with attitude and dangerous swagger", and Thin Lizzy's "first sonically satisfying album", with "The Rocker" their "first bona fide classic". He described "Little Girl in Bloom" as "absolutely flawless", but criticised "The Hero and the Madman" and "Slow Blues" as "overblown" and "tepid" respectively.[1] Pitchfork reviewer Stuart Berman remarked how Thin Lizzy were "starting to kick out the jams with greater confidence and consistency" on this album, with Lynott producing "the sound of a spiritually adrift musician ecstatically discovering his true calling."[2]

Pete Pardo of Sea of Tranquility stated that Vagabonds of the Western World was "filled with blistering blues-rock, folky/psychedelic tinged numbers, and dark, moody, and atmospheric tracks that bridged rock and jazz influences into a hauntingly new sound." He also praised the bonus material on the remastered release, such as the "red hot" version of "Suicide".[3]
