"The Graduate" was an album of songs from the soundtrack of Mike Nichols' movie "The Graduate", featuring many songs from the folk-rock duo Simon and Garfunkel. Released on January 21, 1968, the album was produced by Teo Macero. (See: 1968 in music)Columbia Records LP OS 3180; CD CK 3180.

Although the album features two versions of the acclaimed "Mrs. Robinson," neither is the full version as featured on "Bookends". The first is an instrumental, while the second is abbreviated, tapering off as it does in the film. However, the other major song of the film, "The Sound of Silence," is used three times in the film.
