Let Me in Your Life is the twentieth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on February 26, 1974, by Atlantic Records.

It was one of Franklin's top-selling Atlantic Records albums. The album hit number 1 on Billboard's R&B albums chart and stopped just short of the Top 10 of Billboard's main album chart, narrowly missing Gold certification.[10]

It featured three hit singles and is regarded as one of Franklin's best Atlantic recordings. After many years out of print, it was issued on compact disc through Rhino Records in 1994.[11]
