The State of Massachusetts è un brano composto e inciso dai Dropkick Murphys, contenuto nell'album The Meanest of Times pubblicato nel 2007. Sesto lavoro in studio per la band di Boston, segna il cambio di casa discografica: Born & Bred Records al posto della vecchia Hellcat/Epitaph. La canzone è una specie di inno alla loro terra nativa, naturalmente col loro stile rock-celtico diventato un marchio di fabbrica.
