Workin' It Back is a studio album by the American R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, released in 1985.

The album didn't do nearly as well on the Billboard 200 as his last record, peaking at #96.

The album spawned two singles, "Love 4/2" (#6 R&B) and "Let Me Be Closer" (#67 R&B), though none made the Billboard Hot 100.
