Earth Run is the fifteenth studio album by jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour, released in April 1986 through GRP Records.

[1] The album reached number ten on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart in the United States[2][3] and received a Grammy Award nomination for Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal or Instrumental.

The title track was also nominated for Best Instrumental Composition.

[4] Richard S. Ginell at AllMusic called the album "a more interesting record than most of its immediate predecessors" and noted the "peculiarly fuzzy, futuristic sound" of Ritenour's SynthAxe guitar synthesizer (as depicted on the cover art; one of nine different guitars used on the album).

He also listed "The Sauce" and the cover of Herbie Hancock's "Butterfly" as highlights.
