FM & AM is the third album by American comedian George Carlin. This album was originally released in 1972 on the Atlantic Records subsidiary label Little David Records, later reissued on Carlin's Eardrum Records label. It was also included as part of the 1992 Classic Gold collection, and The Little David Years (1971–1977) box set.

The album incorporates (and mocks) the "clean cut" act Carlin performed on The Ed Sullivan Show on its "AM" side (in monaural), while featuring the counterculture material he was becoming known for on its "FM" side (in stereo with Carlin on the left channel and the audience on the right). Carlin's official website refers to the album as a sort of comedy concept album and says that it "marked Carlin's metamorphosis from straight-laced to hippie, intentionally embracing the growing counterculture."{{cite web|title=George Carlin - Official Website |url=http://www.georgecarlin.com/store.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140207213226/https://www.georgecarlin.com/store.aspx |archive-date=2014-02-07 }} In his memoirs Last Words, Carlin describes it as having a "clear concept" whereas Occupation: Foole and Class Clown as having "Strong concepts".{{cite book |last1=Carlin |first1=George |last2=Hendra |first2=Tony |date= November 10, 2009 |title=Last Words |location=New York |publisher=Free Press|page=191 |isbn=1-4391-7295-1}}
