Down to Earth is Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder's sixth studio album, released in 1966 on the Tamla (Motown) label. The album was a departure from Wonder's earlier, teen pop-driven albums, and, along with its predecessor, Up-Tight, it re-established the sixteen-year-old Wonder, whose voice had recently changed, as a Motown hitmaker.

The LP features the hit single "A Place in the Sun". Another single, "Hey Love", would go on to become a hit for Detroit soul singer Betty Lavette the following year.
