The First Family ist ein US-amerikanisches Comedy-Album von Vaughn Meader aus dem Jahr 1962. Es parodierte in kurzen Szenen von knapp drei Minuten das Leben der Präsidentenfamilie um John F. Kennedy. Der Comedian und Stimmenimitator Vaughn Meader konzipierte das Album und sprach darauf die Entsprechung zu John F. Kennedy.[1]

Ein Sequel des Grammy-prämierten Werks, das auch Musikstücke beinhaltete, wurde nach der Ermordung Kennedys vom Markt genommen, wie auch das Album selbst, welches dann jahrzehntelang nicht mehr auf dem Markt erhältlich war. Inzwischen existiert eine CD- und eine MP3-Version.[2]

In den ersten beiden Wochen der Veröffentlichung verkaufte sich das Album mehr als eine Million Mal.[5] Ende des Jahres 1962 und Anfang des Jahres 1963 war das Album insgesamt 12 Wochen die Nummer eins auf den Albumcharts Billboard 200.
