"Rockin' All Over the World" is a 1977 rock album by the British band Status Quo, featuring twelve tracks. The title track, originally written and recorded by John Fogerty, was released by Quo as a single in September 1977, reaching a peak position of No. 3, and remains their best-known and best-selling single to date. Two other tracks, "Dirty Water" and "Hold You Back", soon established themselves as favourites when played live on stage. "Can't Give You More" was re-recorded by the band in 1991 for their album "Rock 'Til You Drop" and issued as a single, reaching No. 37.

The record was produced by Pip Williams. It was widely thought by fans that the record's general sound was too clean, in contrast to the more spontaneous, more 'under-produced' feeling of their previous four, self-produced albums.

It was reissued by Mercury in 2005 with a bonus track "Getting Better" (Lennon/McCartney), which they had initially recorded in 1976 for the soundtrack of the film and various artists' album "All This And World War II" [Catalog# 982 596-9] .
