Just Another Band from L.A. is a live album by The Mothers, released in 1972 (see 1972 in music). It was recorded live on August 7, 1971 in Pauley Pavilion on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles. A notable inclusion on this album is "Billy the Mountain", Zappa's long, narrative parody of rock operas, which were gaining popularity at that time.

Often overlooked by reviewers, this album marks an important period in the band's career due to the extensive use of The Turtles band, soon to be dissolved with Zappa's stage fall. The song "Eddie, Are You Kidding?" refers to Edward Nalbandian.
The album was reissued in a digitally remastered version on CD by Rykodisc in 1990 and in 1995. All CD editions remove the composition credits.
