Glee: The Music, Volume 7 is the eleventh soundtrack album by the cast of the American musical television series Glee. It was released by Columbia Records on December 6, 2011.

Background
The album was announced as being released in standard and deluxe versions, but only appeared in a standard edition that features fifteen tracks consisting of sixteen covers (one track is a mash-up of two songs by Adele). The version being sold at Target features five bonus tracks for a total of twenty, though it is not marketed as a deluxe edition.

Reception
Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars out of a possible five, writing that the show's "music is as reliable as ever, a mix of traditional glee club favorites with some seemingly risky choices thrown in for good measure."
