Travolta Fever is a 1978 compilation album featuring songs by John Travolta and was released on the Midsong International label. This 2-record set reached No. 161 on the U.S. albums chart in the same year that the soundtrack for Grease reached No. 1.

A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers. If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.
