Splashdown is a Hot Tuna album released in 1984 containing the tracks from a previously unreleased live acoustic performance that had been played on the short-lived radio station WQIV in the mid-1970s.

During the recording, news of the Apollo–Soyuz mission returning to Earth after the first USA-USSR rendezvous in space reached the station, and the astronauts' radio transmissions were played at the same time as Jorma and Jack continued with "Police Dog Blues."

The transmissions mixed with the song were preserved for this release as the last track of side 1.

On AllMusic, William Ruhlmann wrote, "At the time, Hot Tuna recently had released its America's Choice album, but this set harks back to the group's 1970 debut album, Hot Tuna, both in its acoustic format and in the selection of mostly folk-blues standards.

Casual fans are likely to find the album redundant, but more fervent followers rejoiced when this album appeared nine years after the broadcast occurred and five years after the group's apparent demise.
