Autumn '67 – Spring '68 is a 1972 compilation by the English psychedelic rock and progressive rock group the Nice. The album consists of outtakes and alternate versions of previously released songs, which were recorded between Autumn 1967 and Spring 1968.

The album has been reissued on vinyl as The Nice Featuring America. The album was remastered and reissued on Japanese SHM-CD in 2009. All of these tracks were also included as bonus tracks on 1990 reissues of the Nice's Five Bridges and Elegy albums.
