Coming Out is the third album by The Manhattan Transfer, released August 19, 1976 on Atlantic Records.

On the advice of their manager Aaron Russo, the group downplayed the "nostalgic" tenor of their previous breakthrough album in favor of more contemporary songs. However, the throwback single "Chanson d'Amour" became a breakout single in Europe and hit the No. 1 spot in the United Kingdom for three weeks (as well as charting elsewhere in Europe).

The song "Zindy Lou" featured Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner on drums, Dr. John on piano, and Doug Thorngren on percussion. The song "Poinciana (The Song of the Tree)" featured a solo by Michael Brecker.

Coming Out debuted on Billboard's Top Pop Album chart on September 18, 1976 and peaked at No. 48.

The album was re-released on CD in March 1993.
