"I Remember You" is a song by American heavy metal band Skid Row. It was released in November 1989 as the third single from their eponymous debut album. Composed as a power ballad, it was written by bandmates Rachel Bolan and Dave "the Snake" Sabo. It reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Album Rock Tracks in early 1990, being their second and last US Top 10 hit. The song also charted at number two in New Zealand, number 12 in Ireland and Australia, number 14 in Canada, number 18 in Finland, and number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2003, Skid Row, this time featuring new lead singer Johnny Solinger (died in 2021), recorded a second version of the song entitled "I Remember You Two." The song appears in the album Thickskin.
