Ahh...Laine! is the first solo album by Wings guitarist Denny Laine, released in 1973. While not released until November 1973, Ahh...Laine! was recorded pre-Wings, after Denny returned from Spain, post-Electric String Band.

The title comes from the Gravy Granules slogan "Aah! Bisto". A melodic folk-rock album, it was not released at the time of recording due to how busy Laine was with other projects at time. On the front cover he has a Wings T-shirt, but he did perform some of these songs before joining Paul and Linda McCartney in the band. The album was given an official release on Reprise/Warner Bros. Records in 1973.
