At the Gate of Horn is the second solo album by American folk singer Odetta, first released in October 1957.[1] It was named for the Gate of Horn club in Chicago.

Odetta is joined by bassist Bill Lee. Although the title suggests it is a live recording, it is a studio recording, recorded at Esoteric Studios in New York City.
