Old Brush Arbors is an album by American country music artist George Jones released in 1965 on the Musicor Records label.

The album is George Jones' third collection of gospel songs and draws heavily from religious and thematic roots. The best-known track is the title song, "Old Brush Arbors," which features poignant lyrics about attending roadside revival meetings as a child. The song peaked at No. 30 on the country charts and is frequently praised as the highlight of the record.

"The Selfishness in Man" had been previously released earlier in 1965 on his album Mr. Country & Western Music.
