The American Quartet was a quartet of singers that recorded for various companies from 1899 to 1925. The lineup varied over the years, but the most famous lineup recorded for the Victor Talking Machine Company from 1909 to 1913.
- John Bieling - first tenor
- Billy Murray - second tenor

These same singers also recorded for Edison Records as the Premier Quartet. From 1912 to 1914 the quartet recorded with countertenor Will Oakland as the Heidelberg Quintet.
