Music for Our Lady Queen of the Angels is the first album by multi-instrumentalist Garth Hudson, released in 1980 (see 1980 in music).

The album is a soundtrack for a special installation for exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry by sculptor Tony Duquette. The title is a reference to Our Lady Queen of the Angels and the naming of the Pueblo de Los Angeles.

The music that Hudson wrote and recorded for this exhibition was released on cassette under the title Our Lady Queen of the Angels: A Celebrational Environment by Tony Duquette on his own label. It was reissued in 2005, with the same original master tapes.
