Frampton Comes Alive! is a live album by Peter Frampton. Originally released in January 1976, it remains one of the best selling live albums of all time, going platinum six times. The most recognizable songs from the album are "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", and "Do You Feel Like We Do", all of which were released as singles, and continue to receive much airplay on classic rock radio stations. Frampton uses a talk box extensively on the album.

The original release was a double album, but it was later reissued as one CD.

In January 2001, a "25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" of the album was released, containing four additional tracks that were not included on the original version. The track sequence is also slightly different.
