"I Can See You"[a] is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her third re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023). It is one of the album's "From the Vault" tracks that was intended for but excluded from her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). Produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, "I Can See You" features a guitar riff. The lyrics are sexually suggestive and contain flirtatious innuendos, describing Swift's attraction to a person she comes across often.

Music critics gave the song positive reviews, and praised its rhythmic production, sensual lyrics, and catchiness; some picked it as a highlight amongst the album's vault tracks. Critics have ranked it among her best "From the Vault" tracks. Commercially, "I Can See You" peaked at number four on the Billboard Global 200 and the top ten on singles charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It received certifications in Australia and the United Kingdom.

An accompanying music video, written and directed by Swift, was released on July 7, 2023, premiering the day before at the first Eras Tour show in Kansas City, Missouri. Starring American actors Joey King, Taylor Lautner and Presley Cash, alongside Swift herself, the video depicts a heist by King, Lautner and Cash to free the Speak Now-era Swift from a highly guarded vault in a museum. It is a metaphor for the support from Swift's fans following the dispute over the sale of the masters for her first six albums, including Speak Now. The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live hosted a pop-up exhibit containing costumes and props from the video, in honor of Swift's record six sold-out shows at the SoFi Stadium as part of the Eras Tour.
