Sarge is a 1976 album by Delroy Wilson, originally released on the LTD label in Jamaica and the Charmers label in the UK. The album was produced and arranged by Lloyd Charmers, and featured the biggest selling reggae single of 1976, Wilson's cover version of Bob Marley's "I'm Still Waiting".[1] The single's success led to a similarly themed album, with Wilson singing versions of well-known songs over Charmers' arrangements, including covers of "My Conversation", "My Cecilia" and "Too Late for the Learning".[1] Sarge was chosen as one of 100 "essential reggae CDs" by Rough Guides and is widely regarded as Wilson's best album.[2]

The album was re-issued in 1986 on Trojan Records.
