Gone, Gone, Gone is an album by The Everly Brothers, originally released in 1964. It was re-released on CD in 2005 on the Collectors' Choice Music label.

Two of the tracks ("Radio and TV" and "Lonely Island") date back to 1960 recording sessions. The remainder, including the title hit, were all recorded at various sessions from January to September of 1964. It was the first Everly Brothers album in four years—since 1960's A Date with the Everly Brothers—to include songs written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, which had become unavailable after the Everlys parted with manager Wesley Rose.

The title track was covered by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on their 2007 collaboration album Raising Sand.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "A jumble of tracks from varying sessions that, despite some excellent moments, were indicative of the general directionlessness of the Everlys' career at this point."^[1]
