"Somebody's Knockin' on My Door", or sometimes just "Somebody's Knockin'", not to be confused with Somebody's Knockin' by Terri Gibbs, is a song written by the American recording artist JJ Cale.[1] Eric Clapton performed the song as the set opener for his 2015 Slowhand at 70 concert film and live album. Billboard called the Clapton take "rollicking"[2] and The Telegraph thinks the song allows Clapton to play "handsome solos" between the lead vocal parts.[3]

In 2016, Clapton released a studio version of the song on his album I Still Do.
