Joan Armatrading is the third studio album by British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, released in 1976 by A&M Records. It was her first album to be recorded entirely in London, as her first two albums – Whatever’s for Us and Back to the Night being partially recorded in France and Wales respectively in addition to London.

Released in 1976, the album peaked at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry. It also included one of Armatrading’s best-selling singles, “Love and Affection”.

Armatrading’s 1979 live album Steppin’ Out contained two songs from this album, “Love and Affection” and “Tall in the Saddle”. She is pictured on the cover of the album playing an Ovation Guitar.

The album’s producer, Glyn Johns, later said it was the best album he had ever been associated with.
