Tough All Over is the sixth studio album by American country music artist Gary Allan. It was released in October 2005 via MCA Nashville. It was certified gold by the RIAA. Recorded after his wife's suicide, this album is more somber than his previous ones, with several of its songs described as "excruciatingly sad."

Two songs from the album were released as singles: "Best I Ever Had" (a cover of a 2001 Vertical Horizon song) and "Life Ain't Always Beautiful". Both placed in the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
