Chet Atkins at Home is the title of a recording by American guitarist Chet Atkins. It contains his clever arrangement of Yankee Doodle played at the same time as Dixie.

All Music Guide stated that "the record still sounds timeless for its musical beauty and taste, as well as a catholic repertoire that now falls completely outside the boundaries of Nashville country."[1]

Atkins is pictured on the cover in his home studio in Nashville. He was often dissatisfied with his performances in the RCA studios and would take the already recorded rhythm tracks home with him to perfect his guitar part in his own studio.[2]

An EP with the same title and cover (RCA records #4194) was released including "Say Si Si", "Vilia", "Yankee Doodle Dixie" and "You're Just In Love".
