Dick's Picks Volume 29 is an album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. The 29th installment of the "Dick's Picks" archival series, it was recorded May 19, 1977, at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, and May 21, 1977, at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland, Florida. The six-CD release is the longest album in the series and the only one with more than four CDs.

The album contains all of both concerts, except for the encore of the Florida show ("U.S. Blues"). Also included are five unlisted bonus tracks, recorded October 11, 1977 at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Additional material from this concert later appeared on Road Trips Volume 1 Number 2.

More music from the band's fertile April/May 1977 tour can be found on Dick's Picks Volume 3, To Terrapin: Hartford '77, Dave's Picks Volume 1, 30 Trips Around the Sun, Download Series Vol. 1, May 1977, Fallout from the Phil Zone, the reissue of Terrapin Station, and May 1977: Get Shown the Light.
