'In the Name of My Father - The Zepset' is a recorded album by Jason Bonham, released in 1997. The album consisted entirely of cover versions of various songs by English rock group Led Zeppelin, as a tribute to the band's drummer, and Bonham's late father, John Bonham.

The album evolved after Bonham's band began performing Led Zeppelin songs at their live shows. Bonham would occasionally tape a show to listen to, and impressed with the results, he decided to record a set at Electric Lady Studios in New York. Recording took place on June 17, 1996.

Bonham played drums on the album, Tony Catania played Jimmy Page's guitar parts, John Smithson played John Paul Jones' bass and keyboards parts, and Charles West performed vocals, singing the lyrics of Robert Plant.

All proceeds of the album were donated to the John Bonham Memorial Motorcycle Camp and the Big Sisters of Los Angeles.
