Into the Light is the third solo album by English singer David Coverdale, released by EMI on 25 September 2000 in the UK, 27 September in Japan and by Dragonshed on 21 November in the US.

After disbanding his band Whitesnake in 1997, Coverdale was keen on re-establishing himself as a solo artist, having released his previous two solo albums in the late 1970s. In an attempt to distance himself from Whitesnake's hard rock sound, Into the Light features a more stripped down and bluesier style. The album was self-produced by Coverdale, with additional production by Doug Bossi, Michael McIntyre, Bjorn Thorsrud and John X. Volaitis.

Several music critics commended Coverdale's more subdued performance and bluesier approach, while others lamented the album's softer sound. The record charted in six countries, peaking at number five on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. A supporting tour never materliazed, with Coverdale ultimately deciding to reform Whitesnake in 2003.

A reissue was released as Into the Light: The Solo Albums, including Coverdale's preceding solo works via Rhino Entertainment on 25 October 2024.
