Tarzana Kid is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter John Sebastian. Released in 1974, the album marked the first collaboration between Sebastian and Erik Jacobsen, the Lovin' Spoonful's original producer, since their falling out in 1967.[1] The album was a commercial failure and did not chart. His next album which featured "Welcome Back" was his last for the Reprise label.

In his retrospective Allmusic review, critic William Ruhlmann wrote "while this sounds like a hodgepodge, John Sebastian manages to pull it off with his usual aplomb."[2]
