I'm Your Man is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released on February 2, 1988, by Columbia Records. The album marked Cohen's further move to a more modern sound, with many songs having a synthesizer-oriented production. It soon became the most successful studio album which Cohen had released in the US, and it reached number one in several European countries, transforming Cohen into a best-selling artist.

I'm Your Man was hailed by music critics as a return to form. The album went silver in the UK and gold in Canada. It was ranked 51 on Pitchfork's list of the 100 best albums of the 1980s. In a Rolling Stone top ten readers’ poll, three songs from the album – "I'm Your Man", "Tower of Song", and "Everybody Knows" – were voted the best Leonard Cohen songs of all time, ranking #10, #8 and #4, respectively. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was voted number 495 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).
