"Baby Come On Home" is a soul song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded during sessions for the band's debut album but remained unreleased until 1993, when it was included on the compilation Boxed Set 2. The song was also included on the CD edition of the band's ninth studio album Coda in The Complete Studio Recordings (1993) and Definitive Collection Mini LP Replica CD Boxset (2008). In 2015, the song was included on disc one of the two companion discs of the reissue of Coda.

The track stems from an old master reel labelled 'Yardbirds. October 10, 1968' (Led Zeppelin were called the "New Yardbirds" during their first months of existence). The master tape went missing for a number of years and allegedly turned up in a refuse bin outside Olympic Studios, following renovations in 1991. It was mixed by Mike Fraser for a much belated release in 1993, with a single to promote the Boxed Set 2.

The song was originally recorded under the title "Tribute to Bert Berns", in honour of the American songwriter and producer who had died in December 1967.

On this track, Jimmy Page played guitar through a Leslie speaker and John Paul Jones played piano and a Hammond organ.
