Too Stuffed to Jump is the second album by American country rock group the Amazing Rhythm Aces, released in 1976 on the ABC label. Most of the material was composed by the group's lead singer Russell Smith.

Too Stuffed to Jump reached #16 on the US country chart and #157 on the Billboard albums chart. The single "The End Is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)" reached #12 on the country chart, and #42 on the pop chart. "Dancing the Night Away" was later covered by Crystal Gayle on her 1979 album Miss the Mississippi.

"The End Is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)" won the 1976 Grammy award in the category Country Vocal Performance by a Group.[3]

In 2000, Too Stuffed to Jump was reissued by the Special Products Division of Sony Music in the USA on a two-for-one CD which also contains the group's debut album Stacked Deck. In 2013, Dave Dimartino of Rolling Stone called the album "near classic" and said that it sounded "more contemporary than anyone might expect."[4]
