Shoulda Been Home is a 2001 album by blues musician Robert Cray consisting of 12 fresh tracks, seven of them written or co-written by Cray. It was released with Rykodisc Records.

Many long-time Cray fans were happy to see him back to writing lively music, with a unique style that Cray has always been known for. Highlighted by "Renew Blues", a one minute super strong guitar riff, this album seems to be thought of as one of Cray's best since the 1980s.

Cray next released Time Will Tell in 2003.
