Rockit is an album by Chuck Berry, released in 1979 by Atco Records. It was his only release for the label. Atco was the third label for which Berry made studio recordings, after two tenures with Chess Records, interrupted by a brief stint with Mercury Records in the 1960s.

Rock It was Berry's last studio album for 38 years, until Chuck in 2017. It is also the last studio album to be released in his lifetime. Along with 1964's St. Louis to Liverpool, Robert Christgau considered Rock It one of two full-length albums recorded by Berry in his lifetime that were "worthy of the name", a "groove" record "sharpened by two back-end songs skewering the racist society he'd striven so audaciously to integrate and enlighten".
