In the Light is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach recorded in 1982 for the Italian Soul Note label.

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 4 stars, stating: “This is one of a series of excellent recordings by the Roach 4tet in the early ’80s that should be examined as not only excellent works, but perhaps even trend setters for a more progressive concept”.
