Deeper Waters is the first album of duo Robin and Linda Williams on the Red House Records label, released in 2004.

Deeper Waters marks the 30th anniversary as a recording and touring unit for Robin and Linda Williams. They wrote or co-wrote all but one track. Guest vocalists include Iris DeMent, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Schuyler Fisk, and actress Sissy Spacek.

Allmusic states "The Williams have issued what amounts to nothing short of a masterpiece and perhaps their most inspired recorded moment. Deeper Waters is a testament to the stories that are seldom told yet lived in every community, era, and household. This is the place where love, grief, loss, endings, and beginnings are given utterance: to whisper, weep, laugh, and reflect as they move through lives both ghostly and grand."
