The Day Is My Enemy is the sixth studio album by English electronic music group the Prodigy. It was released on 30 March 2015 by record labels Take Me to the Hospital/Cooking Vinyl in the UK and Three Six Zero Music/Warner Bros. Records in the United States.

Recorded across a timespan of six years, the album marks the first time that band members Maxim and Keith Flint have been actively involved in the songwriting process. The album title is a reference to the Cole Porter song "All Through the Night", in particular its lyrics "the day is my enemy, the night my friend",[4] although it is the Ella Fitzgerald version that first inspired the title track.[5]

Due to the band's general lack of interest in albums and the time spent in making them, The Day Is My Enemy was speculated to be their last full-length album,[6] but then the band signed a worldwide record publishing deal with BMG Rights Management in September 2017, and released a follow-up album No Tourists, in 2018.[7]
