Comin' from Where I'm From is the second studio album by American R&B/soul singer Anthony Hamilton, released in the United States on July 15, 2003 by So So Def Recordings/Zomba Label Group/Arista Records. It debuted and peaked at number thirty-three on the Billboard 200 in October 2003 with first-week sales of 33,000 copies,[1] spending seventy-six weeks on the chart. The run was longer on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, where it debuted at number seven (reaching its peak position of number six the following week) and stayed for one hundred weeks. The album achieved platinum status by the RIAA in early December 2004,[2] having sold 1.2 million copies in the United States.[3] The single "Charlene", Hamilton's most successful single to date, peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top five of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The album earned Hamilton three Grammy Award nominations in 2004—Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song (both for the title track "Comin' from Where I'm From"), and Best Contemporary R&B Album—and one in 2005—Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Charlene".
