A Day at the Races is a rock album by English band Queen released in December of 1976.

A Day at the Races was the band's first self-produced album after co-producing their first four albums with Roy Thomas Baker (for Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera) and John Anthony (Queen).

A Day at the Races was recorded at Sarm West, The Manor and Wessex Studios in England and engineered by Mike Stone. The title of the album was a reference to the band's immediately preceding album, A Night at the Opera. Both albums are titles of films by the Marx Brothers.

A Day at the Races peaked at number 1 in the UK, in Japan and in the Netherlands. It reached number 5 on the US Billboard album chart and was Queen's first US album to ship Gold in the U.S.. It subsequently reached Platinum status in sales in the U.S.
