Gettin' In over My Head is the fourth studio album by American musician Brian Wilson, released June 2004 on Rhino Records.

It features an assortment of celebrity guests such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Carl Wilson (the latter appearing posthumously on "Soul Searchin'", a rejected Beach Boys song from the Paley sessions).

Peter Blake created the cover art and assigned 2004 Brian Wilson Presents Smile artist Mark London to art-direct the rest of the package.
