'''''Maybe I'll Catch Fire''''' is the second studio album by the American [[punk rock]] band [[Alkaline Trio]], released on March 14, 2000 on [[Asian Man Records]]. Produced by Matt Allison, it was the band's final studio album with founding drummer Glenn Porter and their last album with Asian Man Records.

After recording the album, Porter was replaced by former [[Smoking Popes]] drummer [[Mike Felumlee]], who made his stage debut in December 1999. The band promoted the album with an appearance on the 2000 Plea for Peace Tour in June and July of that year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alkalinetrio.com:80/news.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000510212532/http://www.alkalinetrio.com:80/news.html|title=News|publisher=Alkaline Trio|archivedate=May 10, 2000|accessdate=November 5, 2020}}</ref>

Mike DaRonco of [[Allmusic]] liked the album, but less than the band's previous effort, 1998's ''[[Goddamnit]]'', saying that "Lyrically, ''Maybe I'll Catch Fire'' follows in the footsteps of ''Goddamnit'', while staying true to the elaborate but emotional tone of aggressive pop-punk. Not as essential as the Trio's previous efforts, but it would be difficult for any band to follow up an album like ''Goddamnit''".<ref name="DaRonco">{{cite web|last = DaRonco|first = Mike|title = ''Maybe I'll Catch Fire'' Review|website = [[Allmusic]]|url = {{AllMusic|class=album|id=r465509|pure_url=yes}}|accessdate = 2009-11-25}}</ref>
