"Rollin' Home" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1986 (not to be confused with the earlier "Rolling Home", from the album Blue for You). It was included on the album In the Army Now.{{cite web |url=http://www.statusquo.co.uk/records/singles5.htm |title=Status Quo discography |publisher=statusquo.co.uk |access-date=2010-01-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212112624/http://www.statusquo.co.uk/records/singles5.htm |archive-date=2010-02-12 }} It was written by John David (bass player with the Dave Edmunds' band) and produced by Dave Edmunds. The 7 inch was also produced as a Q-shaped picture disc.

The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.{{cite web|url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/status-quo/2014/roundhouse-london-england-bccc99e.html|title=Status Quo Concert Setlist at Roundhouse, London on October 22, 2014 - setlist.fm|work=setlist.fm|access-date=25 February 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/t5RRN4k2Y2dDhcxdtkfjfN/status-quo-acoustic |title=Status Quo - Acoustic |work=Radio 2 In Concert |publisher=bbc.co.uk|access-date=25 February 2015}}
