“The Carroll County Accident” is a 1968 country song written by Bob Ferguson, and recorded by Porter Wagoner that year.

According to an interview that Bob Ferguson gave to Steve Eng for his Porter Wagoner biography, Ferguson wrote the song while driving from Nashville, Tennessee to a concert in Philadelphia, Mississippi. He recounted that he passed a sign for Carroll County, Tennessee, which inspired the song’s title, and by the time he saw a sign for Carroll County, Mississippi, the song was a finished work.
