"Release, Release" is a song by the progressive rock group Yes. It was released on the group's 1978 album, Tormato.

Of all the songs of the album, "Release, Release" is the second one that has been performed live less times (The first is "Onward", only performed three times). The song was only done live on six shows of the group's 1978 tour of the United States.

According to drummer Alan White, the song was dropped from the setlist because it needed so much energy to be performed, that the whole band was exhausted after performing it.
