Volcano is the ninth studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and is his 11th overall.

In the United Kingdom, "Chanson pour les petits enfants" was released as a single for Christmas 1979.

Although the album generated three songs, "Fins", "Volcano", and "Boat Drinks", that were popular in concert and performed frequently, critical reception was less positive.

The running times listed for "Treat Her Like a Lady" and "Survive" on LP and CD pressings are incorrect.

The Coral Reefer Band: Buffett set out on a You Had to Be There Tour from February through April 1979, stopping in May to record Volcano.
