Back from the Gig is a double LP by American jazz saxophonist Booker Ervin featuring performances recorded in 1963 and 1968 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1976. The earlier session was later released in 1988 as originally intended under Horace Parlan's name as Happy Frame of Mind and the later session was finally released in 2005 as Tex Book Tenor.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "The stimulating group originals and advanced solos (which fall somewhere between hard bop and the avant-garde) still sound fresh and frequently exciting".
