Eye in the Sky is a 1982 album by The Alan Parsons Project.

Songs on this album are in a number of different styles, from cool and funky to lyrical and heavily orchestrated. The sleeve was green with an image of the Eye of Horus. Variously reported as the band's best-selling album, although others claim that Ammonia Avenue gets this honor.

Vocal performers were Eric Woolfson, David Paton, Chris Rainbow, Lenny Zakatek, Elmer Gantry and Colin Blunstone.

Eye in the Sky contained the Project's greatest hit, the title track, which had lead vocals by Eric Woolfson and hit #3 on the Billboard charts. Says Parsons of the song, "...I hated the song when we first started recording it — I was quite ready to drop it altogether. Then we hit upon the hypnotic guitar chugs and it all came together."

This album also contains the well known instrumental piece "Sirius" which has been featured at sporting events throughout the US. Most notably, this song has been featured as a court-rushing theme for the Chicago Bulls. It is also featured as the entrance music for the Nebraska Cornhuskers (in their Tunnel Walk) and for legendary professional wrestler Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
