License to Chill is the twenty fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and was released in 2004. It is his only album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. License to Chill, released on 13 July 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release according to Nielsen SoundScan.

On this album, Buffett has many duets with noted country music artists, on country songs including "Hey Good Lookin’" by Hank Williams. This rendition reached No. 8 on the Billboard country singles charts; another single, "Trip Around the Sun" (a duet with Martina McBride) reached No. 20. The album features the most covers he's recorded for an album - 11 of the 16 songs are covers.

This is also the name of his 2004 concert tour, which included two shows at Boston's Fenway Park. In November 2005, Mailboat Records released Live at Fenway Park, a live recording of the two shows. Included was a 55 minute DVD of the show.
