Wings over America is a triple live album by Wings, released in December 1976. The album was recorded during the American leg of the band's acclaimed 1975–76 Wings Over the World tour.
In addition to including several of McCartney's hits with Wings, the album features performances of five Beatles songs: "Yesterday", "Lady Madonna", "I've Just Seen A Face", "Blackbird" and "The Long and Winding Road". The album cover was designed by Hipgnosis - who were nominated in 1978 together with McCartney's production company MPL to a Grammy Award for Best Album Package for this album - and depicts an airliner about to open its cabin door.
