Riding with the King is a collaborative album by B.B. King and Eric Clapton that was released in 2000. It was their first collaborative album and won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Riding with the King was also released on a DVD-Audio in higher resolution and with a 5.1 surround sound mix in 2000.
