"Somebody's Knockin' on My Door", or sometimes just "Somebody's Knockin'", not to be confused with Somebody's Knockin' by Terri Gibbs, is a song written by the American recording artist J. J. Cale he never released.[1]

In 2014, when English musician Eric Clapton did the album called The Breeze, a tribute to J. J. Cale who had died the previous year, he met up with his wife, Christine, and asked her, "Is there anything lying about that I could maybe finish or work with?". She gave him two CDs of unreleased material which Clapton found "all fantastic" and covered "Somebody’s Knockin"[1] as the set opener for his 2015 Slowhand at 70 concert film and live album.[2] Billboard called the Clapton take "rollicking"[3] and The Telegraph thinks the song allows Clapton to play "handsome solos" between the lead vocal parts.[4]

In 2016, Clapton released a studio version of the song on his album I Still Do.
