Captiva is the third studio album from Christian rock band Falling Up, released on October 2, 2007. The band recorded the album with Seattle producer Aaron Sprinkle, who also handled the production duties for the band's debut, Crashings.

As opposed to the band's first two albums, Crashings and Dawn Escapes, Captiva is more alternative and experimental rock driven as a whole, similar to some elements that were present on Dawn Escapes, but much less hard rock-driven, and continues to show a change in the band's musical direction.{{Cite web|url=https://www.indievisionmusic.com/reviews/falling-up-captiva/|title=Captiva Review on Indie Vision Music|date=16 October 2007|publisher=Indie Vision Music|accessdate=21 December 2018}} It also features much less distorted guitar rhythms, and nearly all turntable effects present on previous albums are omitted.{{Citation needed|date=October 2014}} It is the final album to feature keyboardist Adam Taylor and only album with guitarist Micah Sannan, who would both depart from the group shortly before the album's release.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}}
