You is an album by psychedelic rock band Gong, recorded and originally released in 1974. Recorded at The Manor, Oxfordshire, the original side 1 (the first five tracks listed below) was mixed at Pye, Marble Arch, side 2 at the Manor. Produced by Simon Heyworth and Gong "under the universal influence of C.O.I.T., the Compagnie d'Opera Invisible de Thibet", and engineered by Simon Heyworth.

"You" is the third of the "Radio Gnome Trilogy" of albums, following Flying Teapot and Angel's Egg. The Trilogy forms a central part of the Gong mythology. The structure of the album is based on long drawn out instrumentals (such as Master Builder, A Sprinkling of Clouds and Isle of Everywhere) interspersed with short narrative pieces.
