I Am the Night is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released in October 1985, through Metal Magic. It was the last Pantera album to feature lead singer Terry Glaze.

I Am the Night was made available only on vinyl and cassette, with any subsequent CD releases being bootlegs transferred from the vinyl or tape originals. The track "Hot and Heavy" was released as a single and promoted with the band's second music video.

The album sold 25,000+ copies, which was considered high for an independent release.
