Minute by Minute — восьмой студийный альбом американской рок-группы The Doobie Brothers, выпущенный 1 декабря 1978 года компанией Warner Bros. Records. Альбом содержал композицию What a Fool Believes, написанный Майклом Макдональдом и Кенни Логгинсом, которая стала главным хитом группы. К ноябрю 1984 года было продано более 3 миллионов экземпляров, что позволило альбому получить от Американской ассоциации звукозаписывающих компаний статус трижды мультиплатинового[3]. Альбом стал последним, в записи которого участвовали Джефф Бакстер и Джон Хартман, которые покинули группу в начале 1979 года.
