Crimson Moon is the 21st album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, released in 2000. Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler play guitar on the album.

Critical reception

NPR deemed the album "quietly stunning." The Guardian called it "unremittingly pleasant." The Birmingham Post wrote that "the earnestness of 1998's Toy Balloon gives way here to some of Bert's finest singing and picking, bringing a loose, jazzy vitality to the title track, revisiting his roots on 'Caledonia' and producing an emotive reading of Robin Williamson's 'October Song'."
