"Homecoming" is a 1972 (see 1972 in music) album by America. Acoustic guitar-based, with a more pronounced electric guitar and keyboard section than previous releases, "Homecoming" helped launch the career of America, and includes one of their best known hits, "Ventura Highway".

"Homecoming" peaked at #9 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and was certified PLATINUM by the RIAA. It produced three hit singles: "Ventura Highway" which peaked at number 8 on the Billboard singles chart and number 3 on the Adult Contemporary chart; "Don't Cross the River" which hit 35 on Billboard and 23 on the Adult Contemporary chart; and "Only in Your Heart" peaked 62 on Billboard's Pop singles chart. Several other songs received radio airplay on FM stations playing album tracks including "To Each His Own", "California Revisited", and "Cornwall Blank".
