"Frampton Comes Alive!" is a live album by Peter Frampton, originally released on January 6, 1976.

Frampton had minimal commercial success with his early albums. This changed with Frampton's breakthrough best-selling live album, "Frampton Comes Alive!", in 1976. The album was recorded in 1975, primarily at Winterland in San Francisco, California and the Long Island Arena in Commack, New York. Released in early January 1976, it debuted on the charts at 191. It stayed at the top of the charts, at number one, for 10 weeks, stayed in the Billboard's Top 40 album chart for 55 weeks, and stayed on the Billboard 200 charts in total for 97 weeks. It was the top selling album of 1976, beating Fleetwood Mac's "Fleetwood Mac" for the top spot, and was the 14th best seller of 1977.Huey, Steve.

The album became the biggest selling live album at the time of its release and sold over 6 million copies in the US, and 16 million worldwide. As of 2008, it is the fourth best selling live album of all time.

The most recognizable songs from the album are "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", and "Do You Feel Like We Do", all of which were released as singles, and continue to receive much airplay on classic rock radio stations. Contrary to popular belief, Frampton only uses the talk box on two songs; Show Me The Way and Do You Feel Like We Do.

The original release was a double album, but it was later reissued as one CD.

In January 2001, a "25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" of the album was released, containing four additional tracks that were not included on the original version. The track sequence is also slightly different.
