Requiem for a Harlequin is the second album by American musician David Allan Coe. It was released in 1970 on SSS International Records. The album is a departure from Coe's work mostly in the country music genre. There are no songs in the traditional sense on Harlequin, rather each side of the original LP is a lengthy spoken monologue over musical accompaniment. Side one is named "The Beginning", and side two was called "The End".
