Burning the Ballroom Down is the fourth album by American country rock group the Amazing Rhythm Aces, released in 1978 on the ABC label. It reached #28 on the US country chart and #166 on the Billboard albums chart. (As with other albums by the group, it fell into the category of albums which were critically acclaimed, but sold poorly.)

In 2000, Burning the Ballroom Down was reissued by the Special Products Division of Sony Music in the USA on a two-for-one CD which also contains the group's third album Toucan Do It Too.
