Maybe I'll Catch Fire is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Alkaline Trio. It was released on March 14, 2000, on Asian Man Records and produced by Matt Allison along with the band.

This was the last Alkaline Trio album with founding drummer Glenn Porter and the last one they released on Asian Man Records. After recording, Porter left the band and was replaced by Mike Felumlee, formerly of the Smoking Popes. Felumlee made his live debut with the band in December 1999.

To promote the album, the band joined the Plea for Peace Tour in June and July 2000. By August 2008, the album had sold about 85,000 copies.

Critic Mike DaRonco of AllMusic liked the album, though not as much as their 1998 release Goddamnit. He said the lyrics follow the same emotional, energetic pop-punk style, but it isn’t as essential as Goddamnit, though it’s still strong and hard to follow up.

All tracks were written by Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano, and Glenn Porter.
