Siegel–Schwall '70 is an album by the blues-rock group the Siegel–Schwall Band. Released in 1970, it was their fourth album, and their last one for Vanguard Records. Produced as a vinyl LP, it was later re-released as a CD, also on the Vanguard label.

Siegel–Schwall '70 was the band's first record to feature their early 1970s lineup of Corky Siegel on piano and harmonica, Jim Schwall on guitar, Rollo Radford on bass, and Shelly Plotkin on drums.

The album was recorded at Paragon Recording Studios in Chicago, except for the last song on each side — "Angel Food Cake" and "A Sunshine Day in My Mind" — which were recorded live at the Quiet Knight in Chicago.
