At the Ryman is a 1992 live album by Emmylou Harris, recorded at the Ryman Auditorium, the original location of the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee. Harris had disbanded her legendary Hot Band and the album features her then-newly formed acoustic backing band, the Nash Ramblers:

• Sam Bush – Fiddle, mandolin and vocals
• Roy Huskey, Jr. – Double bass and vocals
• Larry Atamanuik – Drums
• Al Perkins – Banjo, guitar, resonator guitar and vocals
• John Randall Stewart – Guitar, mandolin and vocals

Though the album received almost no airplay on commercial country radio, it charted and was critically well received. It was credited with helping renew interest in restoring the Ryman, which had essentially remained vacant since the Opry relocated to their current location in 1974.

A companion video recording of the concert was released on VHS.
