Sittin' In is the first album by singer-songwriters Loggins and Messina, released in 1972 (see 1972 in music).

It began as a solo album by Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina was with Columbia Records, serving as an independent producer when he met Loggins. In the course of producing Loggins' work, Messina provided backup vocals and guitar. Eventually, the two decided to put out the album as "Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In."
