Ramblin' Gamblin' Man is the first studio album by American rock band the Bob Seger System, released in 1969. The original title was Tales of Lucy Blue, hence the cover art. In the liner notes, Bob Seger says (sarcastically) he later realized Lucy Blue was "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", and so changed the title of the album.

The albums Ramblin' Gamblin' Man (1969), Mongrel (1970) and Seven (1974) were briefly available on CD in 1993.
