"Almost Home" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Craig Morgan. It was released in November 2002 as the second single from his album I Love It.

The song was Morgan's first Top 10 hit on the U.S. country music charts.

In addition, the song earned him a "Song of the Year" award from BMI, and a Songwriter's Achievement Award from the Nashville Songwriters' Association International.

The song was written by Morgan and Kerry Kurt Phillips.

"Almost Home" fell from the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts starting with the chart dated for March 8, 2003 after a peak of number 33. This was because the song had decreased in airplay, was below the number 20 position, and was more than 20 weeks old ( then it was the publication's policy for moving a song into recurrent rotation. )

After its removal, it experienced an unexpected surge in airplay and was restored to that chart at the number 25 position starting with the March 29 publication. After being reinstated on the charts, it achieved a new peak of number six.
