The Family is the seventh studio album by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton. It was released on November 17, 2022, through RCA and Question Everything.[12] The release of a final album during 2022 was announced during the band's performance at the 2022 Coachella festival.[13] The Family was thought to be Brockhampton's final studio album, and was advertised as such, until the announcement of a subsequent album, TM, in a promo image released alongside The Family.[14]

Although it is credited to the band as a whole, only two members of Brockhampton feature on the album: Bearface, who contributed to production, and Kevin Abstract, who solely provided vocals. Romil Hemnani is also credited as a writer on multiple tracks. Bearface and external collaborator Boylife are credited as executive producers, making this one of two Brockhampton albums (along with TM) where Kevin Abstract is not credited as an executive producer or creative director, and the only Brockhampton album to be executively produced by an outside collaborator.
