Шаблон:Infobox song "Blessed" is a song written by Brett James, Troy Verges, and Hillary Lindsey and recorded by American country music artist Martina McBride. McBride's label, RCA Nashville, released it on October 22, 2001 as the second single from her Greatest Hits (2001) compilation album. The song was produced by Paul Worley. Lyrically, it is about how the narrator is "blessed" in many ways, including having children.

The song became a commercial success, spending two weeks atop the country charts (becoming her fifth number one) and 33 weeks total, her second longest running single on the chart. It is, to date, McBride's final number one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, now known as the Hot Country Songs chart. The song was actually the last country number one hit by a solo female artist until Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" spent a five-week run atop the chart in May 2004.
