The Art of Control is the eighth studio solo album by Peter Frampton, released in 1982 on A&M Records. It was his last for the label.

According to Peter Frampton, the record company, A&M forced him to make a commercial, radio-friendly album that he felt didn't sound like a "Peter Frampton album", which has caused him to hate the album.[4][5]
