Out of Control is the second solo studio album by American musician Peter Criss. Recording for the album began in March 1980, when Criss was still officially a member of Kiss. The album sold poorly, and was not re-released on CD until 1997, as the Kiss reunion tour was underway.

The lone single from the album, "By Myself", failed to chart. The album features a hidden bonus track of a cover of "As Time Goes By". The album also included a cover of the song "You Better Run" by The Young Rascals.
