"Keep It Together" is an album by the band Guster. It was released in June, 2003. The album was recorded over a two-year period between 2001 and 2003 in Bearsville, New York, New York City, Burbank, California and Shokan, New York. This is the first album by Guster that features Brian Rosenworcel on kit drums instead of hand percussion, and it went through several working titles including "Bitch Magic", "Olympia Dukakis" and "Come Downstairs & Say Hello" before the band decided on Keep It Together.

Soon to be member Joe Pisapia, had guest vocals on "Jesus on the Radio". Just months after the release of the CD, he became the new member of the band.

The song "I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today" features Ben Kweller on vocals.
