The Luckiest Man in the World is an unreleased studio album recorded by American country music artist Neal McCoy. It was scheduled to be released in January 2003 on Warner Bros. Records, but was never released. The album's only single, which was the title track, peaked at #46 on the Billboard country charts in 2002. "Put Your Best Dress On" was later released by Steve Holy in 2004, whose version went to #26 on the same chart.
Although it was not released, Robert L. Doerschuk of Allmusic reviewed the album. He gave it four stars, saying that McCoy "fills this album with quality material and digs into it with some of his finest singing to date."
