My Home's in Alabama is the fourth studio album by American country music band Alabama, released in May 1980 on RCA Nashville. It was the band's major label debut and breakthrough album, peaking at No. 3 on the Country album charts and no. 71 on Billboard 200.

The title track pays homage to Alabama's southern rock roots. It reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1980. Two other tracks — the fiddle-heavy, southern rock-influenced "Tennessee River" and the ballad "Why Lady Why" — were the band's first two No. 1 songs, and laid the foundation for what became one of the most impressive popularity runs in country music history.

Also included on My Home's In Alabama is the band's 1979 single, "I Wanna Come Over", which peaked at No. 33 in November 1979. Both that song and the better-known title track were originally issued by MDJ Records, before the band was signed to RCA in early 1980. The album eventually became the group's first major-label debut studio album to be distributed by RCA Records in Nashville.
