Clang of the Yankee Reaper is the third studio album by Van Dyke Parks, released in 1976. It continues his exploration of calypso music started in the previous album Discover America (1972). In particular, it contains several songs by Mighty Sparrow and Lord Kitchener, as well as a diverse selection of past and present music in the tradition of the Americas. It is primarily cover versions, and contains only one original Parks composition. The album was dedicated to the late Frederick Mears Wainwright. The title is taken from a poem by Parks' great-uncle Will Carleton.
