Can I Borrow a Dollar? is het eerste studioalbum van de Amerikaanse rapper Common, toen nog onder de naam Common Sense. Stanton Swihart van Allmusic zei dat de productie, gebruikte samples, drum solo's en keyboards zorgden voor een rustige jazzy sound. Hij ging zelfs zo ver dat hij zei dat Common met dit album Chicago op de kaart gezet heeft binnen de Hiphop.
