Flying Again is an album by the country rock group The Flying Burrito Brothers, released in 1975.

After Gram Parsons' untimely death in 1973, posthumous interest in his music grew. This interest caused the band's original label, A&M Records, to release the compilation album Close Up the Honky Tonks. Since Rick Roberts had dissolved the Flying Burrito Brothers after a brief 1973 European tour with no original members, former manager Eddie Tickner started to think about the possibilities of reviving the band.

After Tickner received booking interest from a number of clubs, founding members "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow and Chris Ethridge agreed to re-form the Burritos. They hired former Byrds drummer Gene Parsons, Joel Scott Hill from Canned Heat, and Gib Guilbeau to round out the "refried" Burritos. Tickner then got the new band a deal with Columbia Records, of which Flying Again was their label debut.
